About the Role
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Malayalam Language Specialist (SME) to review AI-generated Malayalam content and/or create high-quality Malayalam reference content, evaluating language quality and step-by-step reasoning while providing precise written feedback.
You will assess outputs for accuracy, fluency, grammar, spelling, tone, cultural appropriateness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in meaning, mistranslation, register (formal vs informal), ambiguity, and logical consistency; fact-check claims when needed; write high-quality rewrites and model answers that demonstrate best practices in Malayalam writing; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and overall quality.
This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world's largest AI companies and foundation-model labs.

Key Responsibilities
- Develop AI Training Content: Create prompts and gold-standard Malayalam answers across multiple domains
- 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
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Linguistics, Malayalam/English Literature, Communications, Translation, or related field
- Native or near-native Malayalam proficiency (reading and writing required)
- Strong English proficiency (minimum C1)
- 3+ years of professional experience in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, or related language work
- Deep understanding of Malayalam grammar, spelling conventions, punctuation, and style
- Comfortable handling multiple registers (formal/informal), dialect variation across Kerala, India vs diaspora
- Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, translation QA, or rubric-based evaluation strongly preferred
