• Candidates must also have professional fluency in English and possess a keen eye for detail to identify subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.
• Prior experience working within distributed remote teams is highly valued, and a genuine interest in the advancement of large language model technology is preferred.

Responsibilities

• You will be tasked with evaluating the quality and accuracy of text generated by large language models across a diverse set of use cases, including translation, summarization, dialogue creation, and grammar correction.
• Your responsibilities include editing, refining, or rewriting Chinese content to ensure it meets the cultural and linguistic standards expected by readers in mainland China and Singapore.
• Additionally, you will annotate text for various grammatical and semantic features and identify specific model errors or language gaps.
• Through clear communication, you will provide detailed linguistic analysis and feedback to AI researchers to directly guide the ongoing training and improvement of these systems.

Benefits & Perks

• Joining this project offers the unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI research alongside leading industry experts.
• You will work on high-impact projects that play a vital role in the development of advanced AI systems.
• Additionally, you will gain hands-on exposure to the latest innovations in AI research and development while working in a fast-moving environment where your specific linguistic expertise will have a measurable influence on project outcomes.
