The role

Help shape the future of AI in Brazil!

We are building a next‑generation benchmark to evaluate how well AI systems handle complex, real‑world questions in Brazilian Portuguese. This project will help improve how AI delivers accurate, reliable, and context‑aware responses for the Brazilian market.

We are seeking Brazilian Portuguese Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in Sports (equipment, clubs, and events-related) to create high‑quality, expert‑level question‑and‑answer content. This role goes beyond basic data labeling and requires deep domain knowledge, critical thinking, and strong writing skills to test advanced reasoning and contextual understanding in Brazilian Portuguese.

Suitable backgrounds may include sports specialists; professional or former elite athletes with competitive experience; coaches or technical directors at club or federation level; sports equipment specialists (design, testing, performance analysis); executives or senior staff at professional sports clubs or leagues; event organizers or operations managers for major sports competitions; sports journalists or analysts with deep, domain‑specific expertise; and federation officials, referees, or certified technical officials.

What you'll do

  • Develop advanced, open-ended questions grounded in realistic, real-world scenarios related to sports, equipment, clubs, and events within the Brazilian market
  • Provide in-depth, accurate, and well-structured answers supported by strong domain knowledge
  • Incorporate Brazil-specific cultural, social, and regulatory context where relevant
  • Design content that requires critical thinking, nuance, and multi-step reasoning
  • Ensure clarity, precision, and consistently high writing quality in Brazilian Portuguese
  • Follow detailed project guidelines and meet agreed timelines and quality standards

Use of AI tools to generate answers or questions is strictly prohibited.
