Overview

As a remote, part-time French Linguistic Expert, you’ll assess how a large language model handles French and help shape the language data used to improve its performance. You’ll review tasks such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction, then refine or annotate text and share analysis with AI researchers. The project partners with a leading research lab and focuses on French linguistic quality and cultural fit.

What You'll Do5

Assess the accuracy and quality of model-generated French across translation, summarization, dialogue, grammar correction, and other use cases.
Edit, refine, or rewrite French content to meet linguistic and cultural expectations for French-speaking audiences.
Annotate French text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
Spot model errors and gaps in French-language performance, then work with AI researchers on improvements.
Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to inform model training.

Native or near-native French fluency, with strong command of grammar, syntax, and style.
Professional experience in French translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
Knowledge of French nuances, regional varieties, register, and context-appropriate usage.
Professional fluency in English.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to identify subtle errors or 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
