Spanish (Peru) Linguistic Expert

About the Role

Mercor is seeking native-level Peruvian Spanish linguistic specialists to join an innovative AI research initiative. In partnership with a top-tier research laboratory, you will assess the performance of large language models (LLMs) regarding Peruvian Spanish, curate high-quality linguistic datasets, and refine the models' cultural and linguistic accuracy. Your analysis and feedback will be vital in closing language gaps and advancing the training of sophisticated artificial intelligence systems.

Requirements

• To succeed in this role, you must possess native or near-native fluency in Peruvian Spanish, with a mastery of its grammar, syntax, and unique stylistic elements.
• Candidates are required to have professional experience in fields such as translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data tasks.
• A deep understanding of regional variations, register, and cultural context is essential to distinguish Peruvian usage from other Latin American or Peninsular Spanish varieties.
• You must also maintain professional fluency in English to effectively collaborate in a distributed environment.
• Exceptional attention to detail is necessary to identify subtle errors or unnatural phrasing in generated text, and experience working within remote, decentralized teams is highly valued.

Responsibilities

• As a linguistic expert, you will evaluate the accuracy and quality of text produced by large language models across a variety of use cases, including summarization, translation, dialogue, and grammar correction.
• You are expected to edit, rewrite, and refine content to ensure it aligns with the cultural and linguistic standards of Peru.
• Your duties include annotating Spanish text based on semantic, syntactic, and grammatical features to support model learning.
• Furthermore, you will be responsible for identifying specific model errors and language gaps, collaborating closely with AI researchers to provide the detailed linguistic feedback necessary to guide ongoing training efforts.

Benefits & Perks

• Joining this initiative offers the chance to contribute to cutting-edge AI research in partnership with a leading laboratory.
• You will work on high-impact projects that play a direct role in the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems.
• This position provides hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art research environments, allowing you to have a meaningful influence on a fast-moving, innovative project.
