Perform quality assurance (QA) on model outputs for fluency, tone, factual accuracy, and language appropriateness.
Annotate linguistic datasets with syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic labels.
Support internal teams by conducting linguistic research and summarizing findings.
Apply linguistic knowledge to evaluate model behavior, error patterns, and generalization issues.
Qualifications
Deep understanding of linguistic theory and language structure.
Experience with one or more of the following is a plus: computational linguistics, corpus analysis, language data annotation, LLM training.
Strong writing, editing, and communication skills.
Proficiency in English at C1 or C2 level (Versant English Proficiency Test).
