Kannada Language Expert

Key Responsibilities

• Create prompts and gold-standard Kannada answers across multiple domains (general knowledge, customer support, education, conversational writing).
• Evaluate and rank AI outputs to improve fluency, correctness, tone match, and cultural appropriateness.
• Detect unsafe or misleading content, factual hallucinations, bias, and policy-risk language; validate reliability across use cases.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Linguistics, Kannada/English Literature, Communications, Journalism, Translation, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• Native or near-native Kannada proficiency (reading and writing required).
• Strong professional proficiency in English (minimum C1) to follow guidelines and provide detailed feedback in English.
• 3+ years of professional experience in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, journalism, education, or related language-focused work.
• Deep understanding of Kannada grammar, spelling conventions, punctuation, and style—able to explain why something is wrong and how to fix it.
• Comfortable handling multiple registers (formal/informal), regional variation (e.g., Bengaluru/standard usage vs regional dialect influence), and audience adaptation (India vs diaspora).
• High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, hallucinated claims, or culturally awkward phrasing.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
• Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, translation QA, editorial QA, or rubric-based evaluation is strongly preferred.
