Technical Professionals: Evaluate Technical Presentation Decks

About the role

We are running a paid study to determine what constitutes a highly effective technical presentation. Our goal is to train our models to understand how professionals structure and communicate complex technical information. This work feeds directly into improving automated evaluations of design reviews, roadmaps, and postmortems.

You will review various technical slide decks relevant to your field on a flexible, remote schedule. During your tasks, you will examine materials like design reviews, experiment readouts, and model launches. After reviewing the materials, you will rank them based on clarity, structure, and overall effectiveness. This asynchronous work requires you to provide thoughtful feedback on why certain presentations succeed where others fail.

We are looking for experienced technical professionals who regularly create or review engineering presentations. We welcome software engineers, engineering managers, product managers, and data scientists. Candidates should be highly familiar with technical documents like postmortems, roadmaps, and architecture reviews.
