Estimator

$85 per hour
Temporary

AuraOne

Category: Enterprise Workflow & Tool Use · Pay: $85 / hr · Location: Remote — US-eligible · Contractor

Estimator is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across estimator specialist operations workflows. Reviewers grade workflow correctness, policy adherence, and stakeholder fit; flag operational risk; and document the right next step so the modeling team can train on it.

Why this role matters

Estimator specialist operations AI has to fit into an actual day at work. AuraOne uses experienced operators to grade outputs the way a senior peer would — checking workflow, policy, and the unwritten rules that decide whether a task actually gets done.

Responsibilities

  • Review AI outputs against current estimator specialist operations workflows, playbooks, and firm policy for Estimator assignments.
  • Grade tone, escalation logic, and stakeholder fit on a structured rubric.
  • Flag operational risk, missed escalations, and policy-adherence gaps with severity tags.
  • Capture the right next step so the modeling team can train on it.
  • Adjudicate disputed treatments against published playbooks or firm guidance.
  • Maintain reviewer-quality scores in inter-rater calibration cycles.

Qualifications

  • Direct working experience in estimator specialist operations on real teams for Estimator work.
  • Comfort applying multi-page rubrics consistently across long batches.
  • Clear written reasoning that names the policy or workflow being applied.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to flag when a prompt itself is the problem.
  • Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Example tasks

  • Grade a model's response to a real estimator specialist operations ticket and rate workflow, tone, and escalation.
  • Flag a missed escalation with the right severity tag and corrected next step.
  • Adjudicate a disputed playbook call between two reviewers using firm guidance.
  • Audit a 25-row batch for rubric consistency and report drift to the program lead.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience training, calibrating, or QA-ing operations teams.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted workflow tooling and its failure modes.
  • Bilingual experience for cross-region operations.

Skills

  • Operational review
  • Policy adherence
  • Workflow judgment
  • Stakeholder communication
  • Estimator specialist operations
