• Annotating Arabic 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 It's For

• Native or near-native fluency in Arabic, with a strong command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or Arabic NLP data work.
• Understanding of Arabic nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage.
• Professional fluency in English.
• Strong 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.
