• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in German.

• Strong understanding of German nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage.

• Professional fluency in English.

• Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies (preferred but not required).

• Excellent attention to detail and ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.

• Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed, remote teams.

Why Join

• Work on high-impact projects that directly support the development of advanced AI systems.
