Remote Combat Arms & Targeting SME (Flexible AI Training Role)

Frontier generative models are scaling at breakneck speed, and MegaHired is leading the charge in human alignment. We are hiring a distinguished Remote Combat Arms & Targeting SME (Flexible AI Training Role) ($60 - $110/hour) to supply the critical domain ground truth needed to train enterprise-grade AI. If you possess rigorous background in Targeting & fires judgment, Boundary discrimination, Utility assessment, this is your opportunity to build foundational benchmarks that will influence millions of downstream users worldwide.

Project Architecture & Core Responsibilities

• Map authentic military-activity scenarios to an approved taxonomy, clearly delineating between conceptual explanation, lawful policy/readiness support, evidence curation, and the controlled boundary with operational decision support, destructive execution, autonomous weapons, and unlawful planning.
• Identify and propose nuanced or non-obvious boundary cases that might be misclassified by less-experienced reviewers, ensuring nuanced judgment is captured.
• Evaluate and grade AI-generated responses for source handling, proper expression of uncertainty (such as conflicting pattern-of-life intelligence), reasoning quality, stated limitations, and operational utility.
• Flag instances where AI models incorrectly refuse to engage with valid conceptual or policy questions, supporting the ongoing refinement of model parameters.
• Document edge cases, gray areas, and points of disagreement, maintaining a defensible and transparent answer key for model training and review processes.
• Support continuous refinement of project guidelines by sharing insights from operational, targeting, and fires expertise.

Technical Competencies & Domain Background

• Extensive hands-on experience in joint or service-specific fires, targeting, or weapons employment decision-making (e.g., combat pilot, battle manager, JTAC, field or air-defense artillery officer, naval strike officer, carrier air-wing targeteer, or Aegis-qualified TAO/IAMD WTI).
• Advanced tactical training, such as TOPGUN, USAF Weapons School, Joint Firepower Course, or non-US allied equivalents.
• Demonstrated teaching, leadership, or evaluative experience (e.g., WTI, instructor, mission commander, or debrief facilitator).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to articulate operational judgment clearly and succinctly.
• Strong capability to assess targeting and fires utility, discriminate boundaries, and provide clear justifications.
• Law-of-armed-conflict or rules-of-engagement fluency from an operational perspective (not a legal role), considered a plus.
• Experience with AI model evaluation, wargaming, or red-teaming is valued but not required.

Financial Terms & Asynchronous Flexibility

• Compensation Rate: $60 - $110/hour (verified contractor remuneration)
• Work Arrangement: 100% Remote / Work From Home
• Eligible Remote Countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa
• Core Competencies: Targeting & fires judgment, Boundary discrimination, Utility assessment
