• Annotating German 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 German, with strong command of grammar, syntax and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work in German.
• Good understanding of German nuances, regional variations, register and context-appropriate usage.
• Professional fluency in English.
• Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies (preferred, not required).
• Excellent attention to detail, including spotting subtle errors and unnatural phrasing.
• Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed remote teams.
