About the role

Are you a sports professional or enthusiast eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are transforming the way we learn, work, and engage with knowledge—expanding into fields like sports analysis, coaching, education, and performance. With high-quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can deliver more accurate, insightful, and useful support for athletes, coaches, analysts, and fans worldwide. That training data begins with you—your expertise will help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for a Sports Specialist who can bring knowledge, passion, and perspective from the sports industry to training data. You’ll work with cutting-edge AI tools, evaluate outputs across a range of sports topics, and provide structured feedback to improve accuracy, clarity, and usefulness in both professional and educational contexts.

On a typical day, you will review AI-generated content, annotate errors, assess responses for factual accuracy and reasoning, and collaborate with our team to refine prompts, evaluation methods, and guidelines. Tasks may include analyzing game strategies, reviewing performance techniques, assessing rule interpretations, or evaluating training methodologies.

A background or strong interest in the sports industry is required. This could come from formal education (e.g., sports science, kinesiology, coaching), professional experience (athletics, coaching, journalism, analysis), or demonstrated involvement in the field. Strong communication skills, analytical ability, and attention to detail are essential.

Ready to channel your sports expertise into building the AI tools of tomorrow? Apply today and help train the model that will support athletes, students, and sports professionals worldwide.

We offer a pay range of $8 to $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location.
