Traditional Chinese Linguistic Expert | $40/hr | Part-time | Remote

Mercor is hiring Traditional Chinese Linguistic Experts to work on an AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab. The role focuses on evaluating how well a large language model (LLM) performs on Traditional Chinese tasks, and on curating high-quality Chinese linguistic data to train and improve the model.

What the work involves

• Evaluating the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated Chinese text across use cases such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
• Editing, refining, or rewriting Chinese content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Traditional Chinese readers, for example in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
• Annotating Chinese 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 Traditional Chinese, with a strong command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in Chinese.
• Understanding of Traditional Chinese nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage, including how it differs from Simplified Chinese.
• Professional fluency in English.
• Keen 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.
