Job description

Finnish Language Specialist – Freelance AI Trainer Project

Finland

Are you a Finnish language expert eager to shape the future of AI? 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 for Finnish speakers everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

Responsibilities

We’re looking for Finnish language specialists who live and breathe Finnish grammar, syntax, morphology, spelling, phonology, and pragmatics. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics such as verb conjugation, case inflection, vowel harmony, sentence structure, formal and informal language, regional variations, and the nuances of the Finnish writing system—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will conversate 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 Finnish language, linguistics, or a closely related field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, teaching experience, or hands‑on linguistic analysis projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—"showing your work"—is essential.

Compensation and Employment

We offer a pay range of $8 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.

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.
