About the Role

We are seeking experienced Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)in psychology, social work, counseling, qualitative research, human-computer interaction (HCI), communication, conflict resolution, coaching, and related advisory fields to support AI conversation evaluation research.

• Identify missing context and recommend relevant follow-up questions that could improve the quality of AI responses.

• Identify missed opportunities for clarification, deeper understanding, and information gathering.

• Review conversations involving relationships, work, education, family, wellbeing, planning, and resource constraints.
