Malay Linguistic Experts - Earn $30/hr! (Train AI Models Part Time!)

Pay: $30 per hour (paid weekly, flexible part-time hours)

Mercor is seeking experienced Malay Linguistic Experts to join a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab. This role centers on evaluating how effectively a large language model (LLM) performs in Malay-language tasks and on curating high-quality Malay linguistic data to train and improve the model's understanding and generation capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated Malay text across various use cases (e.g., translation, summarization, dialogue, grammar correction).
• Edit, refine, or rewrite Malay content to meet linguistic and cultural standards.
• Annotate Malay text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
• Identify model errors and language gaps, and collaborate with AI researchers to improve LLM performance.
• Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to guide ongoing model training efforts.

You're a strong fit if you have:

• Native or near-native fluency in Malay, with excellent command over grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in Malay.
• Strong understanding of linguistic nuances, regional variations, and context-appropriate usage.
• Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies (preferred but not required).
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.
• Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed, remote teams.

Why Join

• Contribute to cutting-edge AI research in partnership with a leading research lab.
• Work on high-impact projects that directly support the development of advanced AI systems.
• Gain hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art AI research and development.
• Join a fast-moving project where your expertise and judgment can have a meaningful impact.
