Danish Linguistic Expert

About the Role

Mercor is recruiting Danish Linguistic Experts to support a sophisticated AI research initiative in collaboration with a premier research institution. Your core responsibility is to systematically assess the performance of large language models on various Danish-language benchmarks, curating high-fidelity data to optimize the training and generation quality of these systems. You will function as a vital contributor to the model refinement lifecycle, pinpointing linguistic inaccuracies and systemic errors to guide development. This role offers the opportunity to directly impact the evolution of advanced language models through your specialized expertise.

Requirements

• The ideal candidate must possess native or near-native fluency in Danish, demonstrating an excellent command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
• You should have professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work involving the Danish language.
• A deep understanding of Danish nuances, regional variations, and context-appropriate usage is essential.
• Additionally, you must be professionally fluent in English and possess a keen eye for detail capable of spotting unnatural phrasing.
• While not required, an interest in AI and LLM-driven technology is preferred, as is prior experience working effectively within distributed, remote team environments.

Responsibilities

• Your duties include evaluating the quality and accuracy of model-generated text across diverse use cases such as summarization, translation, dialogue, and grammar correction.
• You will be responsible for editing, refining, and rewriting content to ensure it meets the cultural and linguistic standards of Danish-speaking audiences.
• Furthermore, you will annotate Danish text for semantic, syntactic, and grammatical features, identify specific model errors, and collaborate with researchers by providing detailed feedback that guides the ongoing training and development of the AI.

Benefits & Perks

• Joining this project allows you to contribute to cutting-edge AI research alongside a leading research lab while working on high-impact projects that shape the future of advanced AI systems.
• You will gain hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art developments in the field within a fast-moving environment where your personal judgment and professional expertise have a tangible impact.
