About The Job Do you love trivia? Do you often ponder great ideas for trivia game topics and questions? Do you love to write and possess top-notch technical writing chops? Are you able to write freely and creatively? Can you expound on any topic even if you're not an expert in it? Do you want your work to be seen by thousands of people? Are you borderline obsessive compulsive about punctuation, spelling, and grammar? Crowdpurr is seeking a remote part-time, contract Trivia Content Editor and Writer who is also a trivia guru. You'll serve part-time as Crowdpurr's Trivia Editor that nobly leads our team of contract trivia writers who produce new weekly content for Crowdpurr's trivia library. Additionally, you'll write trivia content of your own to fill in the gaps. This unique position will both review, proofread, and manage incoming trivia content, but also create new trivia content.

And when there's a topic you don't know, you'll research it using tools like Wikipedia, ChatGPT, and more to then synthesize trivia content. You know how to edit AI generated content for quality and leverage AI tools appropriately. But you're keenly aware that all trivia content must be reviewed with a human's touch to ensure its quality and accuracy.
