Overview

As an Arabic Linguistic Expert, you will assess how well a large language model handles Arabic and prepare language data that supports its training. The part-time, remote project pairs your language expertise with AI research at a leading research lab. You will review text across tasks such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction, then share detailed findings that help improve the model’s Arabic responses.

What You'll Do5

Review LLM-generated Arabic for accuracy and quality across translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
Edit, improve, or rewrite Arabic content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Arabic-speaking audiences.
Annotate Arabic text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
Spot model errors and gaps in Arabic language performance, and work with AI researchers on improvements.
Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to inform ongoing model training.

Requirements6

Native or near-native Arabic fluency and excellent command of grammar, syntax, and style.
Professional experience in Arabic translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
Strong knowledge of Arabic nuance, regional variation, register, and context-appropriate usage.
Professional fluency in English.
Careful attention to detail, including the ability to catch subtle errors and unnatural phrasing.
Clear communication skills and experience working with distributed, remote teams.

Preferred Qualifications1

Interest in AI and LLM-based language technologies.

Who Should Apply

Arabic language specialists with professional experience in translation, editing, annotation, or NLP data work can bring the linguistic judgment this project needs. Candidates should also communicate fluently in English and be comfortable contributing to a remote research effort.
