• 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 a strong command of grammar, syntax and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work in German.
• Good understanding of linguistic nuances, regional variations and context-appropriate usage.
• Attention to detail, including the ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.
