Résumé du poste

SME Careers seeks a Malay Language Specialist for an hourly, remote contractor role. You will review AI-generated Malay content, create high-quality reference content, and evaluate language quality, tone, grammar, and cultural appropriateness while providing precise feedback.

• 3+ years of professional experience in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, journalism, education, or related language-focused work.
• Deep understanding of Malay grammar, spelling conventions, punctuation, and style—able to explain why something is wrong and how to fix it.
• Comfortable handling regional variation and audience requirements: Malaysia vs Indonesia (Indonesian differs), Brunei, and diaspora usage, including formality levels.
• High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward literal translations, hallucinated claims, or culturally mismatched phrasing.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
• Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, translation QA, editorial QA, or rubric-based evaluation is strongly preferred.

Responsabilités
