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

Evaluate, edit and annotate Korean-language model outputs across translation, summarization, dialogue and grammar tasks. The work requires native or near-native Korean fluency, professional English fluency and relevant experience in translation, editing, annotation or NLP data work.

The work

You will review Korean text generated by a large language model, judge its accuracy and naturalness, and edit or rewrite weak outputs. Tasks may cover translation, summarization, dialogue and grammar correction, alongside annotation of grammatical, syntactic and semantic features. You will also document model errors, language gaps and culturally inappropriate phrasing for AI researchers.

What the screen assesses

The platform is likely to test whether you can explain Korean grammar, syntax, stylistics, register, regional variation and context-dependent usage with concrete examples. Expect follow-up questions about prior translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work, plus scenarios that require you to distinguish factual errors from awkward but acceptable language. The stated language requirements are Native or near-native fluency in Korean and Professional fluency in English.

Logistics

The role is remote and involves collaboration with a distributed research team. The listing does not specify whether work is fully asynchronous, what time-zone overlap is expected or what the typical weekly hours are, so candidates should confirm those details during onboarding.

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 claimed experience can be tied to a concrete corpus, workflow, deliverable and quality standard rather than a general interest in language work.
A strong answer: Name the project type, Korean content involved, your individual responsibilities, the guidelines or style standard used and how quality was reviewed. Quantify the scope if you can do so accurately and explain one issue you personally resolved.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing the employer or team while never identifying which Korean texts they handled or what decisions they made themselves.
