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

Evaluate and refine LLM outputs for grammatical accuracy, naturalness, and cultural fit in Mexican Spanish. The work includes editing, linguistic annotation, error analysis, and written feedback for AI researchers.

The work

You will review Mexican Spanish produced by a large language model across translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar-correction tasks. Day to day, that can include rewriting unnatural text, annotating grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features, identifying recurring model failures, and explaining corrections in a form researchers can use.

What the screen is likely to test

Expect close comparisons between acceptable Spanish and language that is specifically natural in Mexico. The screen may probe your command of register, regional variation, syntax, semantics, stylistics, and differences between Mexican Spanish and other Latin American or Peninsular Spanish varieties. It may also ask for verifiable examples of professional work in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or Spanish NLP data.

Language requirements

The listing asks for native or near-native fluency in Mexican Spanish and professional fluency in English. Strong responses should distinguish objective errors from stylistic preferences, explain culturally specific judgments, and give concise evidence for each proposed edit. Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.

Logistics

The work involves collaboration with a distributed, remote team. The listing does not specify whether scheduling is fully asynchronous, a minimum weekly commitment, or typical working hours, so candidates should be ready to state their actual availability and time zone during screening.

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 includes sustained, verifiable language-quality work rather than informal bilingual use.
A strong answer: Give specific projects, clients or employers where permitted, task types, approximate scope, and the standards or guidelines you followed. Clarify what portion involved Mexican Spanish and what decisions you personally owned.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by saying they have translated or edited extensively without identifying deliverables, review criteria, or their individual responsibility.
