Mercor is hiring Chinese (China) Linguistic Experts for a part-time, remote AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab.

• Edit, refine, or rewrite Chinese content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for mainland China.
• Annotate Chinese text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
• Identify model errors and language gaps, and collaborate with AI researchers to improve LLM performance.
• Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to guide ongoing model training efforts.

Who this is for

• Native or near-native fluency in Chinese (China), with excellent command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in Chinese.
• Strong understanding of Mainland Chinese (Simplified) nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage, including how it differs from Traditional Chinese usage in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
• 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.
