Job Description
Mercor is seeking experienced English Linguistic Experts to join a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab. This role centers on evaluating how effectively a large language model (LLM) performs in English-language tasks and on curating high-quality English linguistic data to train and improve the model’s understanding and generation capabilities.
Key Responsibilities:
- Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated English text across various use cases (e.g., summarization, dialogue, grammar correction, rewriting, and reasoning).
- Edit, refine, or rewrite English content to meet high linguistic, stylistic, and cultural standards.
- Annotate English text for grammatical, syntactic, semantic, and stylistic features.
- Identify model errors, inconsistencies, and language gaps, and provide feedback to improve LLM performance.
- Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to guide ongoing model training efforts.
You’re a strong fit if you have:
- Native or near-native fluency in English, with an excellent command of grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and stylistics.
- Professional experience in editing, proofreading, writing, linguistic annotation, language evaluation, or NLP data work in English.
- Strong understanding of linguistic nuances, regional variations, tone, and context-appropriate English usage.
- Excellent ability to identify subtle grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, ambiguity, and unnatural language.
- Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.
- Strong attention to detail, analytical judgment, and written communication skills.
- Ability to work independently in a distributed, remote environment.
Why Join
- Contribute to cutting-edge AI research in partnership with a leading research lab.
- Work on high-impact projects that directly support the development of advanced AI systems.
- Gain hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art AI research and development.
- Work fully remotely with flexible, asynchronous hours.
- Join a fast-moving project where your expertise and judgment can have a meaningful impact.
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
