What the work actually is

You will spend your days writing analytical problems a strong model might get wrong, then writing the correct answer and the reasoning that justifies it. Typical items look like the two in the brief: reading a sales-by-month table across locations and arguing which one truly grew the most (including which window to measure and whether to discount early volatility), or a constraint puzzle about delivery routes where the answer depends on ordering rules. Other shifts involve reading long documents, decomposing them into logical blocks, summarising them, and verifying factual claims against sources you find online. Because the role is French-language, much of this happens in French, or involves checking that a model's French output holds up as well as its English.

The second half of the job is evaluation: you read model responses and say precisely where the reasoning breaks. Annotations are expected to be specific — pointing to the step where an inference doesn't follow, not scoring a response "weak" and moving on. Rubrics and task formats change between projects and sometimes between weeks, so tolerance for shifting instructions matters more than any single subject specialty.

What the screen looks for

  • Genuine French plus English, in writing, at a register suitable for professional analysis — not conversational fluency.
  • Reasoning you can externalise. Getting the right answer is table stakes; the deliverable is the explanation.
  • Research discipline — can you verify a claim and cite where you verified it, and do you say so when you can't.
  • Availability that's real. 40 hours a week with 2–5 hours daily overlapping America/Los_Angeles is a hard structural requirement, and candidates in European time zones should be honest about what that means for their evenings.

No specialised domain background is required. A degree in engineering, statistics, literature, journalism, or communications helps, as does prior paid writing or analysis work, but the listing explicitly accepts experienced candidates without a degree.

Logistics

Fully remote, contractor engagement with no medical or paid leave, and contract extension tied to performance and project demand. You supply your own desktop or laptop and a reliable connection. Compensation is described only as "competitive, based on experience and expertise" — Turing negotiates rates individually and publishes no band, so treat any figure you hear secondhand as unverified.
