Language AI Solutions Specialist

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in South Korea.

📋 Description

• In the role of Language AI Solutions Specialist, you will connect traditional localization practices with innovative AI technologies.

• You will oversee the complete lifecycle of translation systems, ranging from legacy Neural MT to contemporary LLM-based solutions.

• Your objective is to design, optimize, and implement high-performance language models that facilitate global scalability while upholding exceptional linguistic quality.

• Hybrid Engine Deployment: Develop, evaluate, and validate Neural MT systems (KantanMT) and customized LLMs for specific client domains.

• Performance Analytics: Provide detailed quality assessments, including Predictive TER scores, MQM-DQF/COMET/G-Eval metrics, and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) evaluations.

• Production Integration: Collaborate closely with internal teams (Development, Production, etc.) to ensure a smooth transition of validated models into operational environments.

• AI Model Tuning & Optimization: Conduct supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on LLMs to align their outputs with project-specific styles, voices, and terminology.

• RAG Corpus Management: Design and manage high-quality corpora for Retrieval-Augmented Generation, ensuring vector databases are filled with clean, relevant, and deduplicated data.

• Data Engineering: Carry out advanced data analysis, cleansing, and generation to prepare pristine datasets for model training and fine-tuning.

• Output Verification: Leverage native-level linguistic skills to perform thorough audits of NMT and LLM outputs, identifying subtle errors like hallucinations, cultural insensitivity, or tone inconsistency that automated metrics may overlook.

• Linguistic Asset Engineering: Oversee and enhance Translation Memories (TMs) and Termbases to act as the essential "ground truth" for AI training.

• Quality Control: Develop and refine Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) workflows, incorporating AI-assisted quality estimation (QE) to minimize manual effort.

• Analytics & Productivity Insights: Collect and evaluate post-deployment data, emphasizing Edit Distance, time-to-market reduction, and cost-per-word efficiency.

• Stakeholder Reporting: Convert complex technical data into actionable insights for Program Managers and clients, suggesting rebuilds or retraining cycles as needed.

• Operations & Troubleshooting: Act as the escalation point for engine failures, API latency issues, or unexpected model “hallucinations.”

• Process Documentation: Develop "Living Documentation" for evolving AI workflows to ensure team-wide coherence and scalability.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proficiency in English and native fluency in any core Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean).

• 3-4 years of experience within the localization industry, holding roles such as Project Manager, Translator, Post-Editor, or QA Tester.

• Machine Translation Post Editing: Strong understanding of MTPE, with a proven history of correcting NMT or LLM outputs to achieve fluent, accurate, and brand-consistent target text.

• Degree in Translation, Translation Technology, or relevant experience.

• Analytical aptitude: Capability to comprehend and engage with string-matching and edit metrics (e.g., explaining Edit Distance in a post-editing context, understanding MQM-DQF frameworks, etc.).

• Solid knowledge of CAT tools and CMS/TMS systems within the localization sector.

• AI/LLM applications - familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG corpus management, and understanding of Vector Spaces.

• Basic knowledge of Python and Regex.
