Data Annotator

About the role:

We are looking for highly skilled Data Annotators to support the development of advanced AI tools for grammar correction and proofreading.

• Classify each correction based on error type.
• Provide detailed grammatical explanations for complex errors (e.g., dangling modifiers, pronoun case, subject-verb agreement).
• Ensure meaning is preserved while improving grammar and fluency.
• Follow strict correction formatting requirements (e.g., offset-based annotation for plugin compatibility).

Qualifications:

• Native-level English fluency is mandatory. (Certifications such as IELTS (preferably the Academic or post-graduate version), TOEFL, or Cambridge English qualifications are an added advantage).
• Strong grasp of English grammar, syntax, and formal writing standards.
• Previous experience in editing, proofreading, or linguistic annotation is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with annotation tools or structured formats is preferred.
• Detail-oriented and capable of providing high-accuracy corrections.
• Strong computer literacy and fast, accurate typing skills are essential for navigating annotation tools and maintaining efficiency in text-based tasks.
