Mercor is seeking experienced English Linguistic Experts to join a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab.

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.
