About the role
Overview
Russian trips AI on structure it cannot fake: six cases, verb aspect, and agreement that has to hold across a whole sentence. It also misses when ty or vy is called for and reaches for wording that parses but reads plainly translated, which is exactly what a native speaker notices.
As a Russian Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in Russian, teaching models to write the way people actually speak and write it.
What you’ll actually do
- Assess translations between English and Russian for accuracy, flow, and register.
- Rate and rank model output in Russian, flagging broken cases, wrong aspect, and misjudged formality.
- Rewrite what falls short so it reads as native Russian, not a gloss.
Roles this fits
Common backgrounds: Russian Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist.
What we look for
- Native or near-native fluency in Russian.
- A firm grip on case, aspect, and the ty versus vy distinction.
- Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
- No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
