Job Description

Your Profile

Bachelor's degree or higher in Linguistics, Slovenian Language, Slovenian Literature, English Literature, Communications, Journalism, Translation, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Native or near-native Slovenian proficiency, with strong reading and writing skills 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 Slovenian grammar, spelling conventions, punctuation, diacritics, cases, declension, conjugation, dual number, word order, tone, and style—able to explain why something is wrong and how to fix it.

Comfortable handling multiple registers, including formal, neutral, conversational, professional, educational, and public-facing Slovenian, depending on audience and project requirements.

High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward literal translations, incorrect case endings, agreement errors, dual-number mistakes, hallucinated claims, Croatian/Serbian- or English-influenced phrasing, or culturally mismatched wording.

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, localization QA, or rubric-based evaluation is strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

Develop AI Training Content: Create prompts and gold-standard Slovenian answers across multiple domains, including general knowledge, customer support, education, conversational writing, translation, localization, and culturally sensitive content.

Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI outputs to improve fluency, correctness, tone match, register consistency, meaning preservation, terminology quality, and cultural appropriateness.

Ensure Model Integrity: Detect unsafe or misleading content, factual hallucinations, bias, mistranslations, ambiguity, policy-risk language, and culturally inappropriate phrasing; validate reliability across use cases.
