Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Generalist

Review AI-generated military scenarios for operational realism, tactical accuracy, and appropriate application of operational constraints. This remote contractor role is intended for current or former military professionals with firsthand operational experience.

Day-to-day work

You will evaluate AI-generated scenarios involving military planning, combat operations, targeting, weapons employment, and tactical decision-making. Reviews focus on whether a scenario is operationally realistic, internally consistent, and grounded in the capabilities and constraints relevant to the situation.

Evaluation responsibilities

You will identify factual or doctrinal inaccuracies and provide clear, structured written feedback. Some tasks may also require assessing Rules of Engagement (ROE), Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC), international humanitarian law, and other operational constraints without treating tactical feasibility as equivalent to legal or policy authorization.

What the platform screens for

The screening is likely to verify your military background, operational specialty, and ability to explain decisions under follow-up questioning. Strong candidates can separate known facts from assumptions, identify missing information, and support an evaluation with concrete operational reasoning while avoiding sensitive or classified details.

Practical details

This is a remote contractor role. The listing does not state whether the workflow is fully asynchronous or specify typical weekly hours, assignment volume, or contract duration, so candidates should confirm those details before accepting work. Pay band: $40–80/hr

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your claimed expertise is grounded in a verifiable role, operational setting, time period, and scope of responsibility rather than general familiarity with military topics.
A strong answer: Give a concise service chronology, identify your operational specialty and level of responsibility, and connect specific duties to scenario evaluation. Keep the account unclassified and omit sensitive operational details.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by giving only rank, branch, or job title without explaining what decisions, planning, or operational tasks they personally performed.
