You will apply software quality assurance expertise to validate AI outputs, assess data quality, identify defects, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.\nThe role combines test case design, test execution, defect reporting, data annotation, and AI model evaluation. It is suited to professionals who can assess results systematically, document findings accurately, and communicate quality issues clearly.\nPrior AI experience is not required. Experience in software testing and quality assurance is the primary focus, while data annotation or model evaluation experience is an advantage.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, execute, and document test cases and scenarios to evaluate AI outputs against defined requirements.\n\nReview, annotate, and label datasets to support accurate machine learning model training.\n\nEvaluate model predictions and identify inconsistencies, defects, errors, and recurring patterns.\n\nDocument test results, evaluation findings, and feedback in clear, organized records.\n\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams to clarify requirements, communicate findings, and resolve questions.\n\nContribute to the development and refinement of testing methodologies for AI-driven systems.\n\nRecommend improvements to data quality, testing processes, and model performance.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nHands-on experience in software quality assurance and testing.\n\nUnderstanding of test planning, test case design, test execution, and defect reporting.\n\nStrong attention to detail when reviewing outputs, datasets, and test results.\n\nAbility to analyze findings, identify inconsistencies, and provide actionable feedback.\n\nProficiency in English at B2 level or above.\n\nStrong written communication and documentation skills.\n\nAbility to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with data labeling, data annotation, or dataset quality review.\n\nFamiliarity with AI model evaluation or reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).\n\nExperience evaluating system outputs against defined quality standards.\n\nAbility to identify patterns in test results and recommend improvements to testing methodologies.\n\nKey Skills\nSoftware quality assurance, test case design, test execution, test planning, defect reporting, data annotation, data labeling, AI model evaluation, dataset validation, quality control, documentation, analytical reasoning, English communication, and cross-functional collaboration.\nCompensation\nThe hourly rate is $63-$120, equivalent to approximately $120,960-$230,400 per year at 1,920 working hours annually. This annualized figure is for comparison only; actual earnings depend on contracted hours and workload.\nWhat to Expect\nYou will perform structured testing, review datasets, evaluate AI-generated outputs, document defects, and recommend improvements. The work emphasizes systematic quality assurance, data integrity, accurate reporting, and clear communication. Previous AI experience is not required.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3278,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"American Samoa","iso":"AS","kind":"country"},{"name":"Samoa","iso":"WS","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T08:42:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":54,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.542,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:5","agency","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230400,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/recruitment-room-qa-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/recruitment-room-qa-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T12:52:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11617,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":100174},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=100174"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frecruitment-room-qa-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frecruitment-room-qa-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frecruitment-room-qa-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/recruitment-room-qa-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frecruitment-room-qa-engineer-2"}]}
