French Linguistic Expert (AI Project) at Mercor

French Linguistic Expert | $50/hr | Remote | Part-Time

Mercor is hiring French Linguistic Experts for a part-time AI research project run in partnership with a leading research lab. The work focuses on evaluating how well a large language model (LLM) handles French-language tasks and on curating high-quality French linguistic data to train and improve the model.

What the work involves

• Evaluating the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated French text across use cases such as translation, summarization, dialogue and grammar correction.
• Editing, refining or rewriting French content to meet linguistic and cultural standards.
• Annotating French text for grammatical, syntactic and semantic features.
• Identifying model errors and language gaps, and collaborating with AI researchers to improve LLM performance.
• Providing detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to guide ongoing model training.

Who it's for

• Native or near-native fluency in French, with a strong command of grammar, syntax and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work in French.
• A good understanding of linguistic nuances, regional variations and context-appropriate usage.
• Excellent attention to detail, including the ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.
• Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed, remote teams.
• Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.
