Job description

Quoted in full from Meridial's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.

Are you an experienced litigation attorney eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of legal reasoning and professional support. With high-quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize access to legal knowledge, assist in real-world litigation strategy, and enhance research, writing, and analysis for practitioners worldwide. That training data begins with you—your expertise will help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for practicing litigation attorneys with deep experience in courtroom practice, procedural strategy, and case management. You’ll engage with advanced AI models on topics such as pleadings, motions, discovery, trial advocacy, evidence, appellate strategy, and client counseling—assessing factual accuracy, identifying reasoning flaws, and documenting reproducible performance gaps to strengthen model understanding.

On a typical day, you will analyze AI-generated legal outputs for accuracy, clarity, and logical rigor, simulate litigation scenarios, evaluate arguments and authorities, and collaborate with our team to refine prompts, metrics, and evaluation standards.

A JD and active license to practice law are required. Candidates should have significant litigation experience—whether in civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings—and a strong command of procedural and evidentiary rules. Experience in appellate advocacy, legal writing, or academic teaching is a plus. The ability to articulate legal reasoning clearly and precisely is essential.

Ready to channel your litigation expertise into building the AI tools of tomorrow? Apply today and help train the model that will support lawyers and legal learners around the world.

We offer a pay range of $40 to $70 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high-speed internet; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
