Overview

SuperAnnotate's AI data services arm, SME Careers, needs Odia language specialists to sharpen how frontier models write and reason in Odia. You split your time between judging AI-generated Odia text and writing reference answers that show what strong Odia prose looks like. The work covers accuracy, fluency, register, cultural fit, and the logic behind each response. One active project has you checking translations of English science benchmark questions (ARC) against the source, where faithfulness counts more than polish. The engagement runs hourly and remote, and the interview happens in English.

What You'll Do8

  • Review AI-generated Odia content for accuracy, grammar, spelling, tone, and cultural fit.
  • Catch meaning shifts, mistranslations, ambiguous phrasing, and breaks in logical consistency, then explain each problem in writing.
  • Verify factual claims inside model responses when the source material supports a check.
  • Write strong rewrites and model answers that set the bar for Odia writing.
  • Rate and compare several AI responses on correctness and overall quality.
  • Check Odia translations of English ARC science questions and answer choices against the original, judging accuracy and faithfulness rather than style.
  • Pick one outcome per item: keep the original translation, accept the AI correction, edit the final translation, or escalate.
  • Leave a short review comment that justifies your decision and follows the core and language-specific guidelines.

Requirements8

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in linguistics, Odia or English literature, communications, journalism, translation, or a comparable field, or matching professional experience.
  • Native or near-native Odia reading and writing skills.
  • English at C1 or above, enough to follow guidelines and write detailed feedback.
  • 3+ years of professional work in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, journalism, or teaching.
  • Solid grasp of Odia grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style, with the ability to say what is wrong and how to fix it.
  • Comfort moving between formal and informal registers, regional variation inside Odisha, and audiences in India versus the diaspora.
  • Close attention to subtle meaning shifts, literal translations, invented claims, and phrasing that misses the culture.
  • Self-directed work habits that hold up in an hourly remote contractor setup across time zones.

Preferred Qualifications3

  • Prior work on AI data training or annotation
  • Translation QA or editorial QA experience
  • Evaluation against written rubrics

Who Should Apply

Odia writers and editors with at least three years of language work who can defend every correction they make. Linguists, translators, and content reviewers comfortable in English and precise about grammar fit best. The role suits someone who wants steady hourly remote work on AI language quality.

Salary Insight

The role pays $10.00 to $15.00 per hour. Hourly rates in this band are standard for remote Odia language review and AI data work, and the top of the range tends to go to candidates with translation QA or annotation experience.
