Role details

Mercor is hiring British English linguistic experts for a project with a research lab. The work is about judging how well a large language model performs on British English tasks, and curating high-quality linguistic data to improve it.

The posting describes tasks such as evaluating model-generated English in translation, summarisation, dialogue and grammar correction; editing or rewriting copy so it meets UK linguistic and cultural standards; annotating text for grammatical and semantic features; and giving detailed linguistic feedback on errors and gaps.

Who it is for

Mercor looks for native or near-native British English, with a strong command of grammar, syntax and style, and a clear sense of how UK English differs from American English and other varieties, including register and regional variation. Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation or NLP data work is asked for. Interest in language models is preferred, not required. Pay is weekly via Stripe or Wise if you are hired, as an independent contractor, remote and on your own schedule.
