You’ll contribute to an AI research project with a leading research lab in a remote, part-time role.

Edit or rewrite Finnish content to meet linguistic and cultural expectations for Finnish-speaking audiences.
Annotate Finnish text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
Spot model errors and gaps in Finnish language coverage, then work with AI researchers on model improvements.
Provide detailed linguistic analysis and feedback to inform ongoing model training.

Native or near-native Finnish fluency and excellent command of Finnish grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
Professional experience in Finnish translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
Strong knowledge of Finnish nuances, regional variations, 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 and experience working with distributed, remote teams.
