our partner is seeking experienced English Linguistic Experts to join a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab. This role centers on evaluating how effectively a large language model (LLM) performs in English-language tasks and on curating high-quality English linguistic data to train and improve the model's understanding and generation capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated English text across various use cases (e.g., translation, summarization, dialogue, grammar correction).
  • Edit, refine, or rewrite English content to meet linguistic and cultural standards.
  • Annotate English text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
  • Identify model errors and language gaps, and collaborate with AI researchers to improve LLM performance.
  • Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to guide ongoing model training efforts.

You're a strong fit if you have:

  • Native or near-native fluency in English, with excellent command over grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
  • Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in English.
  • Strong understanding of linguistic nuances, regional variations, and context-appropriate usage.
  • Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies (preferred but not required).
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.
  • Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed, remote teams.

Why Join

  • Contribute to cutting-edge AI research in partnership with a leading research lab.
  • Work on high-impact projects that directly support the development of advanced AI systems.
  • Gain hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art AI research and development.
  • Join a fast-moving project where your expertise and judgment can have a meaningful impact.

This is a 100% remote contract role. Applicants must be located in: United States.

Location

Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for writers
  • Read the style guide twice; tone and register are graded as strictly as grammar.
  • Fix meaning first, then fluency, then style.
  • Note cultural or regional choices so reviewers see your reasoning.
