Spanish (Chile) Linguistic Expert

About the Role

Mercor is hiring Chilean Spanish Linguistic Experts for a collaborative AI research initiative with a top-tier institution. This role involves evaluating and refining large language model (LLM) performance in Chilean Spanish to ensure output accuracy, cultural authenticity, and high linguistic standards. You will play a pivotal role in training AI to better understand and generate text that reflects the nuances of Chilean Spanish, bridging the gap between machine potential and natural human communication.

Requirements

• To succeed in this role, you must possess native or near-native fluency in Chilean Spanish, demonstrating an exceptional grasp of its grammar, syntax, and stylistic conventions.
• A deep understanding of the unique regional variations, nuances, and social registers that distinguish Chilean Spanish from other Latin American or Peninsular dialects is essential.
• We require candidates with professional experience in fields such as translation, professional editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data curation.
• Furthermore, you must maintain professional fluency in English to effectively collaborate within our team.
• A meticulous attention to detail is critical, as you will be responsible for identifying subtle errors or unnatural phrasing that may occur in model outputs.
• Prior experience working in distributed remote teams is highly valued, and while not mandatory, an existing interest in the mechanics of large language models and AI-driven technologies will be a distinct advantage.

Responsibilities

• Your daily responsibilities will focus on the rigorous evaluation and refinement of Spanish text generated by large language models across a diverse set of use cases, including translation, summarization, and dialogue generation.
• You will actively annotate text to define its grammatical, syntactic, and semantic properties, ensuring high-quality data input for training purposes.
• When necessary, you will edit, rewrite, or refine model outputs to align them with specific Chilean cultural standards and linguistic expectations.
• Furthermore, you will be expected to detect patterns of error or gaps in the model's linguistic knowledge.
• By providing detailed, analytical feedback to our AI researchers, you will help guide the iterative training process and directly contribute to the improvement of the model's overall generation capabilities.

Benefits & Perks

• You will have the opportunity to contribute to high-impact, state-of-the-art AI research in collaboration with a leading research lab.
• This role provides significant hands-on exposure to advanced language technology development in a fast-moving project environment where your individual linguistic judgment and expertise have a tangible impact on the success of the AI systems being built.
