Overview

A Chinese (China) Linguistic Expert will assess and improve a large language model’s performance on Simplified Chinese tasks for an AI research project with a leading research lab. The work spans text evaluation, editing, annotation, and feedback to researchers, with attention to Mainland Chinese usage and cultural context. This part-time role is remote and calls for professional fluency in English alongside native or near-native Chinese fluency.

What You'll Do5

  • Assess LLM-generated Chinese text for quality and accuracy in translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
  • Edit or rewrite Chinese content to meet Mainland Chinese linguistic and cultural standards.
  • Annotate Chinese text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
  • Spot model errors and language gaps, then work with AI researchers on model improvements.
  • Provide detailed linguistic analysis and feedback to support ongoing model training.

Requirements7

  • Native or near-native fluency in Chinese (China), with strong command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
  • Professional experience in Chinese translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
  • Strong understanding of Simplified Chinese usage in Mainland China, including regional variation, register, and context.
  • Ability to distinguish Mainland Chinese usage from Traditional Chinese usage in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
  • Professional fluency in English.
  • Strong attention to detail when identifying 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

Chinese language specialists with professional translation, editing, annotation, or NLP data experience may be a strong fit. The role suits someone who can judge Mainland Chinese usage with precision and communicate linguistic findings in English.
