Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Linguistics, Thai/English Literature, Communications, Journalism, Translation, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).

Native or near-native Thai 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 Thai writing conventions: spelling, punctuation, segmentation/word spacing practices, and tone/register—able to explain why something is wrong and how to fix it.

Comfortable handling Thai politeness and formality levels (e.g., particles like ครับ/ค่ะ, respectful phrasing) and adapting to different audiences (customer support vs casual).

High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward literal translations, hallucinated claims, or culturally mismatched phrasing.

Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, translation QA, editorial QA, or rubric-based evaluation is strongly preferred.

Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI outputs to improve fluency, correctness, tone match, and cultural appropriateness.

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