About Job

Position Summary

As a Danish AI QA Content Specialist, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality, consistency, and accuracy of data used to train and evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs) and multimodal AI systems.

Your primary focus will be on reviewing annotations, gradings, and AI-generated outputs. You will assess whether annotations follow project guidelines, meet quality standards, and accurately reflect expected model behaviour across different modalities.

This role requires strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and the ability to apply complex guidelines consistently.

Responsibilities

• Review and quality-check annotations, gradings, and evaluations produced for LLM and multimodal projects (text, image, audio, and/or video).
• Validate that annotations and ratings adhere to project guidelines, rubrics, and quality standards.
• Identify errors, inconsistencies, ambiguities, and potential biases in annotated data and AI-generated outputs.
• Provide clear, actionable feedback to annotators to improve accuracy and consistency.
• Flag systematic issues and contribute insights to improve guidelines, workflows, and QA processes.
• Collaborate closely with the Quality Management (QM) and project teams to implement QA strategies and calibration efforts.
• Support quality audits, spot checks, and escalation of complex edge cases when required.
• Conduct production support as required and perform final data corrections to ensure data quality.
• Support Quality Management (QM) initiatives, including the development, refinement, and maintenance of project guidelines and processes.

Qualifications

• Experience in quality assurance, content review, or data annotation for AI/ML projects.
• Familiarity with LLMs and multimodal AI systems (text, image, audio, video) is a strong plus.
• Experience reviewing gradings, ratings, or structured annotations is highly desirable.
• Strong analytical skills and ability to apply detailed guidelines consistently.
• Excellent written communication skills for providing clear, constructive feedback.
• High attention to detail and commitment to quality.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a distributed team.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, each with distinct guidelines, workflows, and quality standards.
• Demonstrated flexibility in taking on different tasks as the role and organizational needs evolve.
• Ability to remain composed and effective in fast-paced environments, including adapting to last-minute changes in daily priorities.
• Ability to prioritize pilot projects, effectively managing the unique challenges, ambiguity, and frequent changes inherent to pilot initiatives.
• Background in linguistics, content analysis, digital moderation, or AI evaluation.
• Previous experience working with annotation platforms or QA tools.
• Content writing or prompt authoring experience (helpful, but not required).

Why Join Us?

If you are a detail-oriented QA professional interested in contributing to the development of cutting-edge AI systems, this role offers the opportunity to work on real-world LLM and multimodal projects, directly impacting model quality and reliability.
