Job Description

Required Qualifications

• 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.
• 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop AI Training Content: Create prompts and gold-standard Thai answers across multiple domains (general knowledge, customer support, education, conversational writing).
• 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.
