As a Language Specialist on our GenAI team, you will be joining a truly global team of subject matter experts across a wide variety of disciplines and AI engineers and will be entrusted with a range of responsibilities. This will include:

• Creating training data sets for AI models that will help improve its accuracy, fluency, coherence and/or voice
• Annotating data to help AI models align with human values
• Analyzing and improving the grammar, syntax, and sentence structure of both expert-generated training data and AI model-generated text to ensure it adheres to linguistic rules and conventions.
• Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, researchers, and software engineers, to refine and iterate on the AI models.
• Contributing to evolving specifications for AI-model training and data recipes.
