About the role

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

What you'll do

• Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated Chinese text across use cases such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction
• Edit, refine, or rewrite Chinese content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Simplified Chinese readers (e.g., mainland China and Singapore)
• 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

You're a strong fit if you have

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