The company is looking for Postal Clerks to help evaluate and improve AI systems on postal service topics.

- Review sample postal questions and flag any that don’t sound like what real customers ask.
- Write rubrics that define a correct, complete answer on mail classes, shipping options, postage, fees, and shipping labels.
- Cover package tracking, missing or damaged mail, change of address and mail forwarding, and international mailing and customs forms in your rubrics.
- Evaluate AI-generated answers against your rubrics, flagging errors, omissions, and outdated guidance.
- Share clear written feedback with the project team, working asynchronously.
Required Qualifications
- Current, former, or retired USPS frontline experience (postal clerk, sales and service associate, or retail associate)
- 1+ years helping customers in person at a post office counter
- Working knowledge of mail classes, shipping options, postage, tracking, and change of address
