Machine Learning Engineer

A remote, contract opportunity for experienced operators to review AI outputs at AuraOne Human Data. This role focuses on evaluating results across machine learning engineer specialist operations workflows, grading for workflow correctness, policy adherence, and stakeholder fit, while flagging operational risk and documenting the right next steps so the modeling team can train on them.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate AI outputs against established machine learning engineer specialist operations workflows, playbooks, and firm policy for ML Engineer tasks.
• Assess tone, escalation logic, and stakeholder fit using a structured rubric.
• Identify operational risks, missed escalations, and policy-adherence gaps, assigning severity tags as needed.
• Document the appropriate next steps so the modeling team can use them for training data generation.
• Resolve disputed treatments in line with published playbooks or firm guidance.
• Maintain reviewer quality scores through inter-rater calibration cycles.

Requirements

• Direct hands-on experience in machine learning engineer specialist operations on real teams performing ML Engineer work.
• Ability to apply multi-page rubrics consistently across large batches.
• Clear written reasoning that specifies the policy or workflow being applied.
• Strong attention to detail and the capacity to flag when a prompt itself is the root cause of an issue.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.
