Join us on our mission and shape the future!


At Cohere, we are language-obsessed -- we believe that great writers are indispensable to our company and product. We are on a mission to build machines that understand the world and make them safely accessible to all. Data quality is foundational to this process. Machines, or Large Language Models to be exact, learn in similar ways to humans - by way of feedback.


Opportunities Available:

- Senior Data Quality Specialists (read: incredible writers and editors akin to copywriters, copy editors in Canada, UK or US). This role is remote and asynchronous.
- Specialized Senior Data Quality Specialists (multilingual, finance, science, math etc).


This is our referral link - we will assess your application against both roles and determine which, if any would be the right fit for you.


Please Note: This is a part-time independent contractor position based remotely or in Cohere’s Toronto office. We are looking for candidates who are able to commit to roughly 20 hours per week - although there is flexibility to take on additional hours if the candidate is interested in doing so. Compensation ranges, $30 CAD an hour for our Senior Data Quality Specialist role. This is an independent contractor position and is BYOD - Bring Your Own Device (laptop).

  • Spend the majority of your time writing, reading/proofreading text, or rating text to create perfect writing samples to train our data models

  • Label, proofread, and improve machine-written and human-written texts

  • Raise the bar continually by writing fresh copy that is of exceptional quality on a variety of topics

  • Adeptly vary the voice, style, and other characteristics of writing samples

  • Follow our style guide, and make recommendations on unique situations that fall outside of its scope

  • Work with intense attention to detail while citing sources of information

You might be a good fit if you are:

  • An engaging, dynamic writer. You have an uncanny knack for delighting your reading audience (and maybe you've done so professionally before). You also are the type who can skillfully distill complex ideas into readable, digestible summaries

  • A thoughtful and thorough editor. You've spent time re-writing, proofreading, and giving feedback on others writing in a previous role. You've worked with a style guide before and enjoyed it

  • A fast, thorough reader with great comprehension skills

  • Expert web-based research skills that you've used for your writing or editing before

  • Ability to follow complex instructions, navigate ambiguity and work independently in a remote or hybrid environment

The Candidate Journey:

  • Initial Screening - Once you have submitted your application our Talent Team will review your resume and writing samples.

  • Virtual Meet & Greet - If selected to move forward, you will have a short video call with a member of our Annotation Army!

  • Practical Assessment - This assignment will test your written skill through various language-based tasks, such as a a writing sample, interacting with a chat bot, and more.
