About the role

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

What you'll do

• Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated French text across use cases such as translation, summarization, dialogue and grammar correction.
• Edit, refine or rewrite French content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for French-speaking audiences.
• Annotate French 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 we're looking for

• Native or near-native fluency in French, with excellent command of grammar, syntax and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work in French.
• Strong understanding of French nuances, regional variations, register and context-appropriate usage.
• Professional fluency in English.
• Excellent attention to detail and 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.
