Job Title: Russian Language Expert

Job Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

Role Description

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Russian Language Specialist to review AI-generated Russian content and/or create high-quality Russian 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 (formal vs informal), ambiguity, and logical consistency; fact-check claims when needed; write high-quality rewrites and model answers that demonstrate best practices in Russian writing; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and overall quality. This role is a fast-growing AI Data Services company delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your Russian expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their Russian language output more natural, reliable, culturally accurate, and clearly written. 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.

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Linguistics, Russian/English Literature, Communications, Journalism, Translation, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).

• 3+ years of professional experience in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, journalism, education, or related language-focused work.

• Comfortable handling multiple registers (formal/informal), business writing norms, and consistent terminology for product/UI localization.
• High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward calques/literal translations, hallucinated claims, or culturally mismatched phrasing.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.

• Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI outputs to improve fluency, correctness, tone match, and cultural appropriateness.
• Ensure Model Integrity: Detect unsafe or misleading content, factual hallucinations, bias, and policy-risk language; validate reliability across use cases.
