About the job

Overview

Korean punishes the mistakes AI loves to make: it mixes speech levels, sliding between formal and casual within a single exchange, and drops or misplaces the particles that carry meaning. The honorifics a native speaker chooses without thinking are exactly where the model slips.

As a Korean Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in Korean, teaching models to hold the right speech level throughout.

What you’ll actually do

  • Review translations between English and Korean for meaning, flow, and a consistent speech level.
  • Score and rank model output in Korean, catching mixed honorifics and misused particles.
  • Write the better version when the model falls short, natural enough to pass as native.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: Korean Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist.

What we look for

  • Native or near-native fluency in Korean.
  • Command of honorifics and speech levels in everyday use.
  • Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
  • No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
