child-focused experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

 Analyse AI-translated content between English and various foreign languages to identify
syntactic, semantic, grammatical, or contextual errors.

 Diagnose the root causes of translation failures (e.g., word order differences, idiomatic
mismatches, subject-verb agreement, ambiguity).

 Break down complex linguistic challenges and provide actionable insights to improve AI
model performance.

 Optimise prompts, inputs, and data pipelines for better multilingual outcomes.

 Work closely with language experts (native or fluent speakers) to validate findings and
implement fixes.

 Contribute to the development of language guidelines, test sets, and evaluation


frameworks.

 Document translation performance issues and propose prompt-level or model-level


fixes.
 Participate in or lead projects aimed at improving multilingual LLM behaviour, especially
for content targeting young users.

Required Qualifications and Experience:

 Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Linguistics.

 Strong command of English linguistics, including grammar, syntax, semantics, and


discourse analysis.

 Proven experience working with or analysing English + at least one foreign language
(e.g., French, Spanish, Polish, etc.) in translation, NLP, or linguistic research contexts.

 Hands-on experience in AI/LLM evaluation, GenAI tools, or prompt engineering.
