Overview

As a Russian Linguistic Expert, you’ll assess how well a large language model handles Russian tasks and prepare language data that can improve its understanding and writing. The part-time, remote project pairs your language expertise with AI research at a leading research lab, covering work such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.

What You'll Do5

  • Review Russian text generated by an LLM for accuracy and quality across translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
  • Edit, refine, or rewrite Russian content so it meets linguistic and cultural expectations for Russian-speaking audiences.
  • Label Russian text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
  • Spot model errors and gaps in its Russian-language abilities, then work with AI researchers on ways to improve performance.
  • Provide detailed linguistic analysis and feedback to inform ongoing model training.

Requirements6

  • Native or near-native Russian fluency, with excellent command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
  • Professional experience in Russian translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
  • Strong knowledge of Russian nuance, regional variation, register, and context-appropriate usage.
  • Professional fluency in English.
  • Strong attention to detail and 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
