Portuguese (Portugal) Linguistic Evaluator & Functional Tester (manual)

Welo Global; United States; Remote; USD 50,000 - 75,000; Full time

Job summary

Welocalize, a Welo Global brand, is seeking a native-level Portuguese (Portugal) speaker to join a confidential AI and consumer technology programme. This on-site role involves evaluating a pre-release model in Portuguese and testing product flows on client devices for accuracy and natural language quality.

You will work with an experienced linguist in a private Welocalize office space, documenting issues clearly and retesting after fixes. Remote work is not permitted for this programme.

Qualifications

• Native-level Portuguese (Portugal), written and spoken.
• Experience in software testing, localization QA, or linguistic evaluation is a plus.
• Ability to follow a detailed test script and explain issues in English.
• Comfort using a smartphone and a laptop, and testing on iOS/Android.

Responsibilities

• Review pre-release AI model output in Portuguese (from Portugal) and judge it on accuracy, naturalness, appropriateness, and overall quality — would a native speaker really say it this way? This includes fact-checking each response against the source material.
• Test the Portuguese (from Portugal) experience against the English one: confirm feature parity, complete a full user journey using non-English input, and check the product handles non-Latin script, diacritics, right-to-left text, and mixed-language input correctly.
• Spot any display problem (text cut off, overflowing, or rendering badly) and any localization error — a wrong date, number, currency, unit, or a string left untranslated.
• Write up each issue clearly so a developer can reproduce it: the step taken, the device and operating system, the locale, the build ID, and supporting evidence.
• Re-test once a fix lands to confirm it's resolved.
• Share your perspective as a native-level speaker on navigation, usability, and the language-specific nuance only a fluent speaker would catch.
• Work on-site in a private, secure area of the Welocalize office.
• Because of the confidential, pre-release nature of the technology, a remote or work-from-home arrangement isn't possible for this programme.
• Support other linguistic projects as needed.

• A sharp eye for detail and fair, objective judgement when assessing quality.
• The ability to work independently, follow a detailed test script and guideline, and explain an issue clearly in English.

• You’ll work alongside an experienced linguist and tester on technology most people won’t see for months, in a team that takes quality and precision seriously.
