Spanish Linguistic Expert

About the Role

Mercor is seeking Spanish Linguistic Experts for a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a top-tier research laboratory. In this role, you will evaluate and refine large language models, ensuring they produce accurate, fluent, and culturally nuanced Spanish content. Your work will involve curating high-quality datasets and testing AI capabilities to bridge the gap between human language mastery and machine performance, ultimately ensuring that generated text is coherent and precise for native speakers across diverse regions.

Requirements

• Qualified candidates must possess native or near-native fluency in Spanish, demonstrating a comprehensive mastery of complex grammar, syntax, and stylistic conventions.
• You should have a proven background in professional translation, linguistic annotation, editing, or NLP-related data work.
• A deep understanding of the diverse regional variations, registers, and context-dependent usage within the Spanish language is essential for success in this role.
• Applicants are also required to have professional fluency in English to effectively collaborate with research teams.
• We are looking for individuals with exceptional attention to detail who can readily identify subtle linguistic errors or unnatural phrasing.
• While not strictly required, a genuine interest in AI and language technologies will be highly valued.
• Furthermore, candidates should be proficient in communicating clearly and working effectively within a distributed, remote team environment.

Responsibilities

• As a Spanish Linguistic Expert, you will be responsible for evaluating the accuracy and quality of text generated by large language models across multiple domains including translation, summarization, and dialogue generation.
• You will proactively edit, rewrite, and refine content to ensure it aligns with high cultural and linguistic standards.
• Your duties include annotating Spanish text for semantic, syntactic, and grammatical features to provide structured training data.
• You will be expected to systematically identify model errors and language gaps, providing detailed analytical feedback that informs the ongoing training and development efforts of AI researchers.
• Through these actions, you will play an active role in troubleshooting and enhancing the performance of advanced AI systems.

Benefits & Perks

• By joining this project, you will have the chance to contribute to state-of-the-art AI research in collaboration with a leading lab.
• This role provides the opportunity to work on high-impact projects that influence the development of modern AI systems.
• You will gain valuable, hands-on experience with emerging technologies and operate within a fast-paced environment where your linguistic judgment directly informs the progression and quality of the research.
