Language Alignment & Resource Partner (Maori) - Freelance AI Trainer Project

About the Role

We are sourcing independent Language Alignment & Resource Partners (LARPs) to provide native-level Māori language vetting and QA for a specialized AI data project. As AI systems strive to reflect real-world usage and deliver human-like communication, their accuracy depends on rigorous linguistic and cultural consultation. The objective of this project is to evaluate, annotate, and validate data to ensure high-quality outputs that are fully natural, polished, and free from bias.

Responsibilities

• Operate autonomously to provide linguistic QA and develop alignment resources.
• Review, annotate, and test AI outputs for grammatical accuracy, naturalness, and strict cultural context.
• Act as a primary quality check during production to proactively identify and correct subtle cultural errors or awkward phrasing in the Māori language.
• Analyze task quality trends and autonomously develop educational resources and feedback documentation to increase alignment between AI outputs and campaign expectations.
• Provide native-level language vetting during project scaling and offer specialized linguistic consultation throughout the production phase.

Qualifications

• Demonstrable work or educational experience in linguistics, education, or other fields requiring high attention to linguistic detail.
• Prior, tangible experience working in human data evaluation or annotation.
• Verified Māori language proficiency of C1 or C2.
• Ability to transform raw feedback and quality trends into structured, actionable educational resources.
• A meticulous approach to language, with the ability to identify and correct even the most subtle unnatural phrasing in Māori.

Benefits

• Pay range: $6 to $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined based on experience, expertise, and geographic location. Contractor must supply a secure computer and high-speed internet; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
