Latin American Spanish Linguistic Expert | $40/hr | Remote | Part Time

Mercor is hiring Latin American Spanish Linguistic Experts for an AI research project run in partnership with a leading research lab. You will evaluate how well a large language model (LLM) performs on Latin American Spanish tasks and curate high-quality Spanish linguistic data to train and improve the model's understanding and generation capabilities.

What the work involves

• Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated Spanish text across use cases such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
• Edit, refine, or rewrite Spanish content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Latin America.
• Annotate Spanish 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 role is for

• Native or near-native fluency in Latin American Spanish, with strong command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or Spanish NLP data work.
• Understanding of Latin American Spanish nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage, including how it differs from Peninsular (European) Spanish.
• Professional fluency in English.
• Strong 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.
