• Collaborate on fixes: Partner with AI researchers to prioritize issues and improve model outputs over time.

Ideal Qualifications

• Full professional fluency in Mandarin Chinese and English.

• Familiarity with contemporary Chinese media, pop culture, and online discourse.
• Experience in content evaluation, translation, or linguistic review (bonus but not required).
