Korean Language Consultant

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.

You will translate complex prompts into practical experiments, explore Gemini’s newest image and video capabilities, and catalogue the gaps that slow down real-world adoption.

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.
