Overview

As a German Linguistic Expert, you’ll assess how well a large language model handles German and prepare language data that supports its training and improvement. Working remotely on a part-time AI research project with a leading research lab, you’ll review outputs across tasks such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction, while applying your knowledge of German grammar, style, and cultural context.

What You'll Do5

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

Requirements6

Native or near-native German fluency and excellent command of grammar, syntax, and style.
Professional experience in German translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
Strong understanding of German nuance, regional variation, register, and context-appropriate language.
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
