Evaluate, annotate, and refine Mainland Chinese (Simplified) output produced by large language models. The work covers translation, summarization, dialogue, grammar correction, and culturally appropriate usage for mainland China.

The work

Day to day, you would assess Chinese (China) model outputs for accuracy, fluency, grammar, syntax, semantics, register, and cultural fit. Tasks may include translation review, summarization evaluation, dialogue assessment, grammar correction, linguistic annotation, and rewriting unnatural content for mainland China. You would also document recurring model errors and language gaps for AI researchers.

What the platform screens for

The screen is likely to test native or near-native fluency in Chinese (China), specifically Mainland Chinese (Simplified), plus professional fluency in English. Expect follow-up on professional translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work, including how Mainland Chinese usage differs from Traditional Chinese usage in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your experience involved accountable language decisions rather than informal bilingual use, and whether you can identify your exact responsibilities and outputs.
A strong answer: Give one or two verifiable projects, naming the task type, subject matter, audience, review process, and your personal contribution. Include how quality was checked or how disagreements were resolved.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing themselves as bilingual without identifying paid or professional work, concrete deliverables, or ownership of language decisions.
