About The Role

We're looking for native Portuguese speakers with a background in language teaching or assessment to help evaluate and improve AI systems built around Portuguese-language learning.

  • Commitment: Minimum 15 hours/week, fully asynchronous

What You'll Do

  • Evaluate AI-generated Portuguese speech and text for linguistic accuracy, naturalness, and educational quality.
  • Assess learner speech and writing across proficiency levels from CEFR Pre-A1 through B2+.
  • Identify learner errors, unnatural phrasing, and gaps in pedagogical approach.
  • Provide clear, structured feedback that improves AI tutoring and language-learning models.
  • Suggest improvements for natural, idiomatic, and culturally appropriate Portuguese.
  • Collaborate asynchronously with project leads and fellow language experts.

Who You Are

  • Native-level proficiency in Portuguese.
  • Experience teaching Portuguese or evaluating learner language.
  • Fluent in English (C1/C2 level).
  • Familiar with learner speech patterns and CEFR frameworks.
  • Enrolled in or completed a Bachelor's degree or higher.
  • Strong attention to detail and consistency in linguistic judgment.
  • No prior AI experience required.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with language assessment, curriculum design, or standardized testing.
  • Familiarity with AI-powered language tools or educational technology.

  • Comfort working independently in structured, asynchronous workflows.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs.
  • Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule, from anywhere.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
  • Contribute to meaningful work that improves AI for Portuguese speakers worldwide.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.
