LANGUAGE • HOURLY CONTRACT • REMOTE • $32-$37/HOUR

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI startup to bring on a Korean-language specialist who can stress-test multimodal models and surface cultural nuances they still miss.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate AI visuals: Review, score, and refine AI-generated images and videos produced from Korean prompts for fluency, accuracy, and relevance.
• Deliver cultural guidance: Provide detailed feedback covering idioms, tone, and sensitive cultural context so models behave appropriately.
• Stress-test edge cases: Use Gemini and companion tools to probe tricky scenarios, document failure modes, and share replicable examples.
• Collaborate with builders: Work with AI researchers to prioritize fixes and iterate toward higher-quality Korean-language outputs.

Ideal Qualifications

• Full professional fluency in Korean and English.
• Deep knowledge of Korean culture, idiomatic language, and regional nuance.
• Experience evaluating content, translation, or linguistic quality; AI interest preferred.
• Clear, detail-oriented written communication for feedback and documentation.

More About the Opportunity

• Start: Immediate with Mercor and the partner AI lab.
• Duration: 5-week engagement with extension potential.
• Commitment: Part-time, minimum 10 hours per week on your schedule.
• Contract: Independent contractor with weekly payments via Stripe Connect.

This project suits linguists and Korean media experts who are curious about how emerging AI interprets language visually-"and who want their expertise to shape safer, smarter systems.
