AI Benchmark Engineer | Native Language Specialist

ph3bAbout The Opportunity /b /h3 pWe are building a rigorous, verifiable evaluation suite of Terminal-Bench tasks designed to test the limits of large language models on multilingual software challenges. Our goal is to measure multilingual robustness across prompt language effects, non-English data processing, and complex locale/encoding edge cases in terminal workflows. /p pWe are seeking experienced native-speaking software engineers to design, build, and validate these benchmarks. You will create high-signal, high-quality tasks that genuinely test a model's ability to handle multilingual environments without relying on English translation crutches. /p pbNote this is a remote, freelance opportunity /b /p h3bWhat You’ll Deliver /b /h3 ul lipTask Engineering: Evaluating Coding Agents. /p /li lipAsset Creation: Build realistic task environments using datasets and files in your native language. Crucially, these assets must remain in the target language to genuinely measure multilingual handling. /p /li lipPrompting Translation: finding failure points where AI does not work, in your native language /p /li lipImplementation Verification: Support the development of robust solutions (reference implementations) and write highly reliable, deterministic verifier scripts (using rubric-based judging only when strictly necessary). /p /li lipCalibration Execution: Analyze execution logs and calibrate task difficulty (Easy to Very Hard) using standard Terminal-Bench run configurations against various model tiers (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus). /p /li lipQuality Assurance: Participate in a rigorous, 4-layer human quality control process (creation, human review, calibration review, and audit) alongside automated LLM-based checks to ensure fairness, grammatical accuracy, and benchmark integrity. /p /li /ul h3bQualifications /b /h3 ul lipbExperience: /b 5+ years of industry experience in software engineering. /p /li lipbBackground: /b Proven track record at leading technology companies and/or graduation from top-tier engineering universities. /p /li lipbLanguage: /b Native or near-native fluency, with a deep understanding of its grammar, register, and phrasing rules. High English proficiency. /p /li lipbTechnical Stack: /b Strong proficiency in Python, standard shell scripting, and data processing. /p /li lipbWorkflow: /b Extensive experience with Terminal/CLI-based development workflows and a working familiarity with coding agents. /p /li lipbDomain Expertise: /b Deep technical understanding of multilingual text processing pitfalls, including: /p ul liEncoding/decoding robustness and Unicode normalization. /li liLocale-dependent conventions (collation, casing, non-Gregorian dates). /li liText I/O, toolchain interoperability, and safe string operations. /li li(For specific languages) Bidirectional/RTL handling, font fallbacks, and rendering/typography in UI or artifacts. /li /ul /li /ul h3bWhy Collaborate with Lilt? /b /h3 ul lipbYour schedule, your rules. /b As an independent contractor, work when you want, as much or as little as you want. No fixed hours, no check-ins, no micromanaging. /p /li lipbGet paid quickly and fairly. /b We respect your time and your expertise. Competitive rates, prompt payments, no chasing invoices. /p /li lipbWork on projects that actually matter /b. Contribute to cutting-edge AI and language technology that is shaping how humans and machines communicate. /p /li lipbBe part of something bigger. /b Join a global community of linguists, subject matter experts, and language professionals who are advancing human knowledge together. /p /li lipbGrow without limits. /b As a Lilt contractor you get access to diverse, innovative projects that expand your portfolio and sharpen your skills across industries and domains. /p /li lipbHave fun doing what you love. /b Bring your language skills to life on projects that are as interesting as they are impactful.
