About the job
Are you passionate about the Q'eqchi' language and eager to play a pivotal role in the evolution of artificial intelligence? Large-scale language models are advancing from simple chatbots to influential tools that enhance communication, education, and cultural preservation. By providing high-quality training data, you can help ensure that future AI accurately represents Q'eqchi' vocabulary, grammar, dialectical variations, and cultural context, thereby preserving invaluable Mayan knowledge and fostering authentic linguistic exchanges.
We are seeking Q'eqchi' language specialists who are deeply familiar with regional dialects, phonetics, syntax, idiomatic expressions, oral traditions, and cultural references. Your role will involve rigorously testing advanced language models on various aspects including contextual interpretation, tone, meaning, dialectal distinctions, semantic accuracy, and cultural nuances. You will document failures to improve model reasoning.
On any given day, you will engage with the model in Q'eqchi' on a myriad of topics, validate linguistic precision and cultural relevance, trace reproducible errors, and propose enhancements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.
A Master's degree in Linguistics, Indigenous Studies, Translation, or a related field is preferred, alongside professional experience in teaching, translation, language documentation, or community engagement. Exceptional metacognitive communication skills—demonstrating your thought process—are essential for this role.
Are you ready to transform your Q'eqchi' expertise into the foundational knowledge for tomorrow's AI? Apply today and contribute to training a model that will educate the world.
We offer a competitive pay rate ranging from $8 to $65 per hour, with the exact compensation determined based on your experience and geographic location. As a contractor, you will need to provide a secure computer and high-speed internet; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and paid time off do not apply.
