About this role
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Slovak Language Expert (SME) to review AI-generated Slovak content and/or create high-quality Slovak 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, ambiguity, unnatural phrasing, terminology, and logical consistency; fact-check claims when needed; write high-quality rewrites and model answers that demonstrate best practices in Slovak 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. Your Slovak expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their Slovak language output more natural, reliable, culturally accurate, and clearly written.
Requirements

- Native or near-native Slovak proficiency, with strong reading and writing skills required.
- Strong professional proficiency in English, minimum C1, to follow guidelines and provide detailed feedback in English.
- 3+ years of professional experience in writing, editing, localization, translation, content QA, journalism, education, or related language-focused work.

- Comfortable handling multiple registers, including formal, neutral, conversational, professional, educational, and public-facing Slovak, depending on audience and project requirements.
- High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward literal translations, incorrect case endings, agreement errors, hallucinated claims, Czech- or English-influenced phrasing, or culturally mismatched wording.
- Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
- Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, translation QA, editorial QA, localization QA, or rubric-based evaluation is strongly preferred.
