Description
Are you an English language expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of linguistic discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline communication for English speakers everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.
We’re looking for English language specialists who live and breathe the intricacies of English grammar, syntax, morphology, semantics, phonetics, and pragmatics. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like sentence structure, verb tense and aspect, word usage, idiomatic expressions, pronunciation, and cultural context—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.
On a typical day, you will converse with the model on language scenarios, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.
A degree in English language, linguistics, or a closely related field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, teaching experience, or hands-on linguistic analysis projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.
Ready to turn your English language expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.
We offer a pay range of $6-to- $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.

About this role
Meridial is seeking English language specialists to train advanced AI models by identifying and documenting how they fail on linguistic tasks. You'll engage directly with language models across grammar, syntax, semantics, idioms, pronunciation, and cultural nuance—testing edge cases, verifying accuracy, and providing detailed error traces that help improve the underlying systems. The work demands someone who can think metacognitively about language, articulate exactly why a model's output misses the mark, and suggest concrete refinements to prompts and evaluation methods.
This role suits candidates with formal training in English, linguistics, or a related discipline, particularly those with teaching experience, published work, or a track record of hands-on linguistic analysis. You'll work freelance from New Zealand on a per-hour basis, with compensation ranging from $6 to $65 per hour depending on your background and expertise. You'll need to provide your own secure computer and internet connection; contractor status means no company benefits apply.
