Job Description

We are selecting Reporters & Correspondents to contribute document-driven articles to a customer's project, focusing on in-depth research and accurate, factual storytelling. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

  5. Participate in iterative editorial reviews, incorporating feedback to enhance clarity, structure, and factual consistency.

  6. Document research methods and citation trails for transparency and future reference within the project.

  7. Communicate findings effectively in both written and verbal formats, collaborating with project stakeholders as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

  1. Minimum of 4 years reporting or correspondent experience at a recognized media outlet.

  2. Proven expertise in document-heavy beats such as investigative journalism, business, or science reporting.

  3. Demonstrated excellence in synthesizing large volumes of material into engaging, structured narratives.

  4. Track record of rigorous source validation, fact-checking, and verifiable reporting (not opinion or commentary).

  5. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex topics clearly.

  6. Familiarity with journalistic standards for transparency, citations, and use of public records.

  7. Experience collaborating remotely with editorial or project teams is a plus.
