[Remote] Telugu Language Expert (Remote)
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SME Careers, a subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, is hiring a Telugu Language Expert to evaluate AI-generated Telugu content and create high-quality Telugu reference content. The role focuses on reviewing and correcting English science benchmark question translations, assessing accuracy and language quality, and providing written feedback.
Responsibilities
- In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Telugu Language Specialist (SME) to review AI-generated Telugu content and/or create high-quality Telugu reference content, evaluating language quality and step-by-step reasoning while providing precise written feedback
- You will assess outputs for accuracy, fluency, grammar, spelling, tone, cultural appropriateness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in meaning, mistranslation, register (formal vs informal), ambiguity, and logical consistency; fact-check claims when needed; write high-quality rewrites and model answers that demonstrate best practices in Telugu writing; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and overall quality
- Task Description: Review and quality-check existing translations of English science benchmark questions (ARC) in your target language. For each item, you’ll compare the original translation and an AI-proposed correction against the English source, focusing strictly on accuracy and faithfulness rather than stylistic improvement
- You’ll review the question and answer choices only , select the appropriate outcome (accept the original, accept the AI correction, edit the final translation, or escalate), and provide a brief review comment. The goal is to preserve the source exactly - including its meaning, difficulty, answer structure, scientific terminology, and protected elements - while following the provided core and language-specific guidelines
Skills
- Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Linguistics, Telugu/English Literature, Communications, Journalism, Translation, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience)
- Native or near-native Telugu 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 Telugu 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., Andhra Pradesh vs Telangana usage), and audience adaptation (India vs diaspora)
- High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward literal translations, hallucinated claims, or culturally mismatched 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
