Turkish Linguistic Expert | $50/hr | Remote | Part Time

Mercor is hiring experienced Turkish Linguistic Experts for an AI research project run in partnership with a leading research lab.

What you'll do

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

Who this is for

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

Pay and schedule

This is a part-time remote role paying $50/hr.

The role offers hands-on exposure to AI research and development, and your linguistic judgment directly supports the improvement of the model.
