With high-quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can deliver accurate, context-aware translations, enhance cross-cultural communication, and support learners and professionals around the world. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for German translators with a strong command of both German and English who can assess and refine AI-generated translations for grammatical accuracy, fluency, cultural nuance, and context sensitivity.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and edit AI outputs, translating between German and English in both directions.
• Annotate errors, provide cultural or contextual explanations, and suggest improvements to prompts, evaluation methods, and model behavior.

Qualifications

• Strong command of both German and English.
• Background in professional translation, linguistics, localization, or language education.
• Experience with technical, literary, or media translation.
• Clear, reflective communication and ability to articulate translation decisions.

Compensation

Pay range of $6 to $65 per hour, determined after evaluating experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer 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.
