Role details

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Hungarian Language Expert (SME) to review AI-generated Hungarian content and/or create high-quality Hungarian reference content, evaluating language quality and step-by-step reasoning while providing precise written feedback. You will assess outputs for accuracy, fluency, grammar, spelling, tone, cultural appropriateness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in meaning, mistranslation, register, ambiguity, unnatural phrasing, terminology, and logical consistency; fact-check claims when needed; write high-quality rewrites and model answers that demonstrate best practices in Hungarian writing; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and overall quality.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your Hungarian expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their Hungarian language output more natural, reliable, culturally accurate, and clearly written.

Your profile

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Linguistics, Hungarian Language, Hungarian Literature, English Literature, Communications, Journalism, Translation, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Native or near-native Hungarian proficiency, with strong reading and writing skills required.
  • Strong professional proficiency in English, minimum C1, to follow guidelines and provide detailed feedback in English.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, journalism, education, or related language-focused work.
  • Deep understanding of Hungarian grammar, spelling conventions, punctuation, vowel harmony, agglutination, cases, suffixation, definite/indefinite conjugation, word order, tone, and style—able to explain why something is wrong and how to fix it.
  • Comfortable handling multiple registers, including formal, neutral, conversational, professional, educational, and public-facing Hungarian, depending on audience and project requirements.
  • High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward literal translations, incorrect suffixes, unnatural word order, hallucinated claims, English- or German-influenced phrasing, or culturally mismatched wording.
  • Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
  • Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, translation QA, editorial QA, localization QA, or rubric-based evaluation is strongly preferred.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop AI Training Content: Create prompts and gold-standard Hungarian answers across multiple domains, including general knowledge, customer support, education, conversational writing, translation, localization, and culturally sensitive content.
  • Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI outputs to improve fluency, correctness, tone match, register consistency, meaning preservation, terminology quality, and cultural appropriateness.
  • Ensure Model Integrity: Detect unsafe or misleading content, factual hallucinations, bias, mistranslations, ambiguity, policy-risk language, and culturally inappropriate phrasing; validate reliability across use cases.
