Date: 10 hours ago
City: Calgary, AB
Contract type: Full time
Who are we?
Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We’re training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.

Why this role?
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. By labelling, ranking, auditing, and correcting text output, you will improve Large Language Model’s performance for iterations to come, thus having a lasting impact on Cohere’s tech.
Cohere is looking for dynamic and dedicated Data Annotators with backgrounds and skills in Safety or Content Moderation.
IMPORTANT CONTEXT ON THIS ROLE: In this position, you will be asked to engage with human-generated and model-generated tasks, which will sometimes mean intentional exposure to explicit content. Your annotations on these explicit tasks will be used to prevent the Large Language Model from generating unintentional or adversarial, toxic or unsafe outputs. The types of explicit content you may be exposed to may include, but are not limited to, those of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature.
Please Note: This is a part-time independent contractor position available within Canada only. We seek candidates who are able to commit to 20 hours per week at a $30/hour contract rate (plus hazard pay at $15/hour). This role is BYOD - Bring Your Own Device (laptop). Remote work within Canada is permitted. Performance incentives included!
As an AI Data Trainer on Safety tasks, you will:
If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you want to work really hard on a glorious mission with teammates that want the same thing, Cohere is the place for you.
We value and celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive work environment for all. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form, and we will work together to meet your needs.
