About the Role
We’re looking for an AI Response Labeler / Annotator with deep expertise in Japanese and the cultural context of Japan.
This is an AI annotation and evaluation role, not a translation or traditional localization position. Japanese expertise is an essential specialization, but it represents only one component of the work. You’ll evaluate AI-generated responses across a broad range of topics, tasks, and real-world scenarios. Much of the content, annotation guidance, and day-to-day work will be in English.
You’ll perform side-by-side comparisons of responses generated by different AI models and determine which response better meets the user’s needs. This requires strong analytical judgment, the ability to interpret detailed guidelines, and the consistency to apply those standards across a high volume of evaluations.
Successful candidates will be comfortable assessing content beyond language quality alone. You may be asked to evaluate factual accuracy, relevance, completeness, reasoning, instruction-following, clarity, safety, tone, and overall usefulness.

Preferred Qualifications
Work Pace and Productivity Expectations
This is a highly structured and repetitive role that involves completing similar evaluation tasks throughout the workday. Candidates should be comfortable maintaining focus, accuracy, and consistent judgment while reviewing a high volume of AI-generated content.
Most evaluation tasks are expected to take approximately 15 minutes, and employees are generally expected to complete a minimum of 25 tasks per day. Some tasks may take more or less time depending on their complexity.
Success in this role requires balancing productivity with quality. Employees must meet established daily expectations while carefully applying annotation guidelines and providing accurate, well-supported evaluation decisions.
Training and Qualification
All new hires must successfully complete a structured onboarding and qualification program before beginning production work.
The program includes training sessions, guided practice exercises, calibration against established quality benchmarks, and a formal qualification review.
Training is intended to establish consistent evaluation judgment across the team. Language fluency alone will not be sufficient to qualify. Employees must also demonstrate the ability to evaluate broader response quality, follow detailed annotation guidelines, explain their decisions, and complete work within the expected timeframe.
Employees will continue to receive feedback, quality reviews, and calibration support after entering production.
Compensation
At Blueprint, we strive to offer competitive pay that reflects the value of our team members. Compensation for this role is influenced by a variety of factors, including skills, education, responsibilities, experience, and geographic market.
The anticipated compensation range is $38.46 to $40.87 USD per hour, with a midpoint of $39.66 USD per hour. Please note that we typically do not hire new employees at the top of the posted range. Actual starting pay will be determined based on experience, skills, and internal equity. The final compensation and job title may vary depending on the selected candidate’s qualifications.
Location and Work Arrangement
Remote within the United States.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States and reside within a U.S. time zone.
During the approximately 30-day training and qualification period, employees must work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. After successfully completing training, employees may work standard business hours within their local time zone.
