What this actually is

You evaluate AI responses in the target language, rate translation quality, write prompts in your native language, and flag errors. Not professional translation work in the traditional sense. The platform title (Korean Language Lead) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

MAIN PURPOSE OF THE JOB

We are looking for a skilled Korean linguist to act as a Language Lead Backup to our main Language Lead on a key account. The role involves stepping in to handle review responsibilities whenever the main Hebrew lead is out of office (OoO) or when there's a need to share the workload.

This includes performing full linguistic review and quality assurance tasks, ensuring all content meets the expected standards and client-specific guidelines. In such instances, you would act as the primary reviewer, taking over the review scope of the main lead.

The ideal candidate should be available to work within PST business hours (9:00-17:00) to align with client delivery times.
