Ukrainian Linguistic Expert

About the Role

Mercor is seeking proficient Ukrainian Linguistic Experts to support a sophisticated AI research project in partnership with a leading laboratory. In this capacity, you will be instrumental in the assessment and improvement of large language models (LLMs) with a specific focus on Ukrainian language performance. Your efforts in curating high-quality datasets will directly influence the models' ability to produce precise and culturally nuanced content. This role offers the chance to apply your linguistic expertise to refine AI-generated outputs, ensuring they meet the standards of native speakers while advancing the development of emerging AI technologies in a collaborative, dynamic setting.

Requirements

• The ideal candidate must possess native or near-native fluency in Ukrainian, demonstrating a sophisticated command of grammar, syntax, and stylistic nuances.
• Professional experience in fields such as translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or working with natural language processing data is required.

• A strong capacity for detail, the ability to detect subtle errors or unnatural phrasing, and effective communication skills for working in distributed, remote settings are essential.
• While not mandatory, an existing interest in AI and language technologies is highly valued.

Responsibilities

• You will be responsible for evaluating the accuracy and quality of text generated by large language models across a variety of functions, including translation, summarization, dialogue creation, and grammar correction.
• Your duties involve editing and refining content to ensure it meets the rigorous standards expected by Ukrainian-speaking audiences.
• Furthermore, you will annotate text based on its grammatical, syntactic, and semantic properties and identify specific model errors or language gaps.
• You will work closely with AI researchers to provide detailed linguistic feedback and comprehensive analysis, which will serve as a guide for ongoing model training and performance improvements.

Benefits & Perks

• By joining this team, you will contribute to significant, high-impact AI research in collaboration with a leading lab.
• You will gain valuable hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art development processes while working on a project where your individual judgment and expertise directly influence the evolution of advanced AI systems.
