Spanish (Venezuela) Linguistic Expert | $40/hr | Part-time | Remote

Mercor is hiring Spanish (Venezuela) Linguistic Experts for an AI research project run in partnership with a leading research lab. The work centers on evaluating how well a large language model (LLM) performs on Venezuelan Spanish-language tasks, and on curating high-quality Spanish linguistic data used to train and improve the model.

What the work involves

• Evaluating the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated Spanish text across use cases such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
• Editing, refining, or rewriting Spanish content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Venezuela.
• Annotating Spanish 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 efforts.

Who this role is for

• Native or near-native fluency in Spanish (Venezuela), with excellent command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in Spanish.
• Strong understanding of Venezuelan Spanish: regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage, including how it differs from other Latin American and Peninsular Spanish varieties.
• Professional fluency in English.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.
• Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed, remote teams.
• An interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.

Pay and schedule
