Overview

Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of linguistic discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline communication and translation for Chinese speakers everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

Responsibilities

You will challenge advanced language models on topics such as tonal variations, Simplified vs. Traditional characters, regional dialects, Chinese idioms, sentence structure, and cultural context—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on language scenarios, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

Qualifications

A master’s or PhD in Chinese language, linguistics, or a closely related field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, translation experience, or hands‑on linguistic analysis projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—"showing your work"—is essential.

Compensation and Employment

Pay range: $6‑to‑$65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above.

Employment type: Contract. Workplace type: Remote. Seniority level: Mid‑Senior Level.

As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
