Overview

SME Careers, the AI data services arm of SuperAnnotate, hires Marathi Quality Assurance Leads on an hourly contractor basis to keep Marathi training data in shape. You review AI-generated Marathi text alongside the output of trainers and QAs, judging both against project rubrics for grammar, tone, terminology, and cultural fit. Feedback moves through Discord direct messages and shared Google Sheets and Google Docs, so written clarity in English carries as much weight as Marathi fluency. What you catch here feeds straight into the training data behind large foundation models.

What You'll Do8

  • Spot-check Marathi items across live projects, log quality problems, and send targeted feedback to contributors through direct messages.
  • Flag critical or repeated defects to project leads before they spread through a batch.
  • Post guideline revisions, workflow changes, and quality expectations for trainers and QAs on Discord.
  • Answer contributor questions about Marathi register, regional usage, translation fidelity, and edge cases.
  • Message inactive contributors, track follow-ups, and report availability gaps that stall delivery.
  • Build and maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, honeypots, and onboarding material for Marathi projects.
  • Run onboarding and training calls that walk trainers and QAs through rubrics, workflows, and Marathi style rules.
  • Watch for recurring quality gaps and propose workflow fixes that scale across Marathi-language projects.

Requirements8

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Marathi, linguistics, translation, communications, journalism, English, education, quality assurance, or a related field.
  • Native or near-native Marathi reading and writing ability.
  • English strong enough to follow written guidelines and give clear feedback to remote colleagues.
  • 3+ years of professional work in Marathi writing, editing, translation, localization, content QA, AI training, teaching, or annotation.
  • Deep knowledge of Marathi grammar, spelling, punctuation, register, regional variation, and cultural context.
  • Skill at judging Marathi content against detailed rubrics and naming specific faults such as mistranslation, literal phrasing, hallucinated claims, ambiguity, or inconsistent terminology.
  • Comfort with Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, and project management systems.
  • Organized enough to keep style guides, FAQs, trackers, and onboarding material current.

Preferred Qualifications2

  • Experience leading or supporting remote teams of trainers, annotators, reviewers, editors, or QAs.
  • Background in AI training, data annotation, large language models, prompt and response evaluation, or rubric-based LLM QA.

Who Should Apply

Marathi language specialists with at least three years of editing, translation, or content QA work who want a hand in how AI models handle the language. The role suits someone who reads Marathi closely, writes English feedback that leaves no ambiguity, and keeps a remote contributor team aligned on the same standards.

Salary Insight

Pay runs $15.00 to $25.00 per hour on this freelance contract with SME Careers. That band fits linguists with a few years of review or localization work who can also lead other contributors, and candidates with team-lead history have reason to push toward the upper end.
