Evaluate, edit and annotate Russian-language model outputs across translation, summarization, dialogue and grammar tasks. The work calls for native or near-native Russian fluency and professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work.

The work

You will assess Russian text generated by a large language model, identify linguistic and cultural problems, and edit or rewrite outputs where needed. Tasks may cover translation, summarization, dialogue and grammar correction, along with annotation of grammatical, syntactic and semantic features.

What the platform screens for

Native or near-native fluency in Russian is sought, including command of grammar, syntax, stylistics, regional variation and context-appropriate usage. Screening is also likely to test whether you can distinguish objective errors from acceptable variation, explain subtle instances of unnatural phrasing, and turn an observation into useful feedback for AI researchers. Professional experience in Russian translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work is expected. Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.

Working approach

This is remote work with a distributed team. The listing does not disclose whether tasks are fully asynchronous, the expected weekly commitment or the project's duration, so candidates should be ready to state their actual availability and clarify scheduling requirements 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 checks whether your experience involved accountable language decisions rather than only informal fluency or general content work.
A strong answer: Describe specific projects, your exact responsibilities, the kinds of Russian text involved and how quality was reviewed. Include concrete tools, annotation schemes or deliverables where applicable.
Where people lose it: Listing job titles without explaining what Russian-language judgments you personally made leaves the screener unable to verify relevant depth.
