Role details
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will review AI-generated French-language responses and/or generate expert language content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step edits while providing precise, actionable feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in logic, meaning, methodology, or conceptual understanding; fact-check information when needed; write high-quality explanations and model revisions that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate that provides AI training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your language expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their outputs more accurate, natural, and clearly explained.
Important: There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.
Your profile
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Linguistics, French, Translation/Localization, Communications, or a related field.
- Native or near-native French proficiency (C2 preferred) and Minimum C1 English proficiency required; multilingual ability beyond French/English is a plus.
- Strong command of French grammar (agreement, tense/mood), semantics, pragmatics, and discourse-level editing across registers.
- Exceptional attention to detail in identifying meaning drift, ambiguity, locale inconsistencies, and subtle errors; able to explain corrections clearly in writing.
- Comfortable applying French style and punctuation conventions and enforcing terminology consistency for specific audiences and locales.
- Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
- Previous experience with AI data training/annotation, editorial QA, translation/localization QA, or professional editing is strongly preferred.
Key responsibilities
- Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts in various topics and responses to guide AI learning, ensuring the models reflect a comprehensive understanding of diverse subjects.
- Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to enhance the model's accuracy, fluency, and contextual relevance.
- Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI models for potential inaccuracies or biases, validating their reliability across use cases.
