What the work actually involves

You spend your day producing and reviewing analytical reasoning tasks in Italian and English. A typical item might be a sales-by-month distribution where you have to decide which location grew most — and justify why you chose a particular time window or excluded early-period volatility. Another might be a constraint puzzle (delivery routes, seating orders, scheduling) where you have to write the correct answer plus a step-by-step explanation a model can learn from. You will also read long documents, break them into logical blocks, summarise them, and verify factual claims through online research.

A large part of the job is adversarial: you probe a model with prompts designed to expose weak reasoning, then document exactly where it went wrong and what the correct chain of steps should have been. Annotations are expected to be detailed and defensible — 'the model is wrong' is not a deliverable; 'the model averaged across a period that includes a one-off promotional spike, which inflates Location B's growth rate' is.

What the screen looks for

  • Genuine working fluency in Italian and English, not passive comprehension — you will be asked to reason in both.
  • Whether you can decompose an ambiguous analytical question and name your assumptions before answering.
  • Basic quantitative competence: percentages, growth rates, averages versus medians, reading a table without misreading it.
  • Evidence of professional writing or analysis history (business analyst, research analyst, journalist, editor, translator, technical writer).
  • No specialised domain background is required; a Bachelor's degree is preferred but experience is accepted in its place.

Logistics

Contractor engagement with no medical or paid leave, fully remote, and framed as 40 hours per week for the contract duration. The stated requirement is 2–5 hours of daily overlap with America/Los_Angeles (UTC-8), so European-based candidates should expect late afternoon or evening working blocks. You need your own desktop or laptop and a reliable connection. Pay is undisclosed on this listing and described only as competitive and experience-based; treat any figure you hear from other contributors as observed, not promised. Extensions depend on performance and project demand.
