In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Tamil Language Specialist (SME) to review AI-generated Tamil content and/or create high-quality Tamil 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 Tamil writing; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and overall quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of Super Annotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs.

Your Tamil expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their Tamil language output more natural, reliable, culturally accurate, and clearly written.

• Native or near-native Tamil 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 Tamil grammar, spelling conventions, punctuation, and style—able to explain why something is wrong and how to fix it.
• Comfortable handling multiple registers (formal/informal), Tamil used in India vs Sri Lanka vs diaspora contexts, and audience adaptation as required.
• 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.

• 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 escalates), 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.
