We are building a benchmark dataset to evaluate AI models on professional document understanding and instruction following within the Legal domain.

Tasks consist of complex, multi-step requests grounded in real-world legal documents (contracts, briefs, regulatory filings, case memos), web search, and code execution — each paired with a clearly defined ground truth output and an objective evaluation rubric. You will be responsible for authoring tasks that test an AI's ability to interpret legal language, follow multi-step instructions, and produce precise, well-reasoned outputs.

We expect a minimum commitment of 15–20 hours per week.

Ideal candidates have 3+ years of hands-on experience in one or more of the following sub-domains:

  • Corporate & commercial law

  • Litigation & dispute resolution

  • Intellectual property

  • Regulatory & compliance

  • Employment & labor law

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

  • This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
