About the Role

Mercor is seeking experienced German 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 French-language tasks and on curating high-quality French linguistic data to train and improve the model’s understanding and generation capabilities.

What You'll Do

  • Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated German text across various use cases (e.g., translation, summarization, dialogue, grammar correction).
  • Edit, refine, or rewrite German content to ensure it meets linguistic, cultural, and literary standards.
  • Annotate German texts for grammatical, syntactic, semantic, and stylistic features.
  • Identify model errors and linguistic shortcomings; collaborate with AI researchers to improve LLM performance in German.
  • Provide detailed literary and linguistic feedback to guide ongoing model training and evaluation efforts.
  • You’re a strong fit if you have:
  • Native or near-native fluency in German, with excellent command of grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
  • Professional experience in literary editing, copywriting, criticism, or NLP-related linguistic annotation in German.
