European Portuguese Linguistic Expert

$40/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Languages

Evaluate and refine LLM-generated content for linguistic accuracy, naturalness, and cultural fit in European Portuguese. The work includes annotation, error analysis, rewriting, and detailed feedback for AI researchers.

The work

You will assess European Portuguese output across translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar-correction tasks. Day-to-day work may include editing or rewriting model responses, annotating grammatical and semantic features, identifying recurring language gaps, and explaining errors clearly enough to inform model training.

Language requirements

The role calls for native or near-native fluency in European Portuguese and professional fluency in English. You should be able to judge register, regional variation, syntax, stylistics, and context-appropriate usage in Portugal, including distinctions between European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

Screening focus

The platform is likely to test whether you can support linguistic judgments with precise examples rather than relying only on intuition. Expect follow-up questions about prior translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work, as well as exercises involving subtle errors, competing rewrites, and consistent evaluation criteria. Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.

Practical details

The work is remote and suited to candidates with experience collaborating in distributed teams. The listing does not specify whether tasks are fully asynchronous, a minimum weekly commitment, or typical working hours, so candidates should be ready to state their availability and time-zone constraints clearly.
