Edit, refine, or rewrite Portuguese content to meet Brazilian linguistic and cultural standards.
Annotate Portuguese text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
Flag model errors and language gaps, then work with AI researchers on improving model performance.
Provide detailed linguistic analysis and feedback to inform ongoing model training.

Requirements6

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

Preferred Qualifications1

Interest in AI and LLM-based language technology.
