Job Summary

We are seeking experienced Lingala Language Experts to support AI Training and evaluation initiatives. In this role, you will help improve next-generation AI systems by applying your expertise in Lingala and English transcription, translation, and linguistic analysis.

This is not a traditional translation role. Contributors will work on AI training and evaluation workflows designed to improve how AI systems understand, interpret, and generate Lingala-language content in real-world contexts.

No prior AI experience is required. What matters most is strong bilingual proficiency, linguistic accuracy, cultural understanding, and the ability to evaluate language quality with precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Transcribe Lingala video content with high accuracy and complete fidelity to spoken language.
• Identify and annotate timestamps while capturing speaker intent, tone, and emotional nuance.
• Analyze grammar, syntax, tone, and overall linguistic structure in both Lingala and English.
• Define and explain conceptual meanings of words and phrases, including cultural and contextual interpretations.
• Perform complex linguistic tasks to support training and refinement of AI language models.
• Collaborate with project teams to ensure high-quality, consistent, and accurate deliverables.
• Contribute to improving multilingual datasets used in AI training and evaluation.
• Maintain a consistent workload of at least 15 hours per week while ensuring high-quality output.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Native or near-native proficiency in Lingala and English.
• Strong experience in transcription, translation, localization, or linguistic analysis.
• Excellent attention to detail, especially in capturing tone, emotion, and linguistic nuance.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills applied to language-related tasks.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, deadline-driven environment.
• Proven reliability in meeting consistent weekly workload requirements.
• Experience with structured annotation or language data workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in linguistics, language education, translation studies, or related fields.
• Experience contributing to AI training, NLP, or language annotation projects.
• Familiarity with transcription standards and best practices in linguistic data labeling.

Additional Information

This opportunity is ideal for bilingual professionals passionate about Lingala and interested in contributing to the development of advanced AI systems. Your expertise will directly improve how AI models understand, interpret, and generate Lingala, ensuring linguistic accuracy, cultural depth, and high-quality multilingual performance.
