About this role.
Overview
Are you passionate about languages, writing, and quality evaluation? We are launching an exciting language evaluation project and are looking for Japanese-speaking experts to join our team.
What you will do:
Identify realistic search-related failures where an AI model provides inadequate responses. Create search queries, test them, document what went wrong, and write instructions and evaluation criteria for correct answers.
Common issues: local relevance, source quality, outdated information, language mismatches, incomplete answers, and region-specific inapplicability. Testing multiple queries before finding failures is expected.
This is a practical, execution-focused role. We value hands-on performance and consistency over advanced academic training. Candidates who prefer theoretical/research work may not find this role a good fit.
Project Details:
– Start Date: ASAP
– Duration: Ongoing Project.
– Commitment: 20/hours week.
– Job Type: Freelance contract.
– Location: Japan, Remote
– Rate: $35-57.75 per hour.
Requirements:
– Research skills — ability to find and verify information from multiple sources; comfort navigating different websites, databases, and documentation
– Critical thinking — Can spot contradictions between sources, identify outdated information, and recognize when something doesn’t apply to a specific locale/context
– Attention to detail — Can catch nuances in language, local variations (prices, regulations, requirements), and edge cases
– Problem-solving mindset — Comfortable iterating and testing when things don’t work; doesn’t get frustrated by trial-and-error
– Domain knowledge — Ideally someone with background in research, quality assurance, compliance, or similar work that requires precision and source verification
– Writing clarity — Can articulate instructions and rubrics clearly so others understand the logic behind their reasoning
– Locale knowledge — Deep familiarity with their specific locale (local regulations, business practices, cultural nuances) is valuable for spotting region-specific failures

Sample interview questions
I would create a realistic Japan-specific query, assess whether the response uses relevant and current local information, and compare its claims with authoritative Japanese sources. I would document the exact failure, why it matters to the user, and the criteria for a correct response.
I would check publication dates, primary-source status, jurisdiction, and the scope of each claim. I would record the conflict, use the most authoritative and current source where possible, and specify uncertainty or conditions in the evaluation rubric.
I would define observable requirements, such as factual accuracy, Japanese local relevance, appropriate language, current sources, and complete coverage of the question. Each criterion would include examples of acceptable and unacceptable behavior so another evaluator can apply it consistently.
I vary wording, user intent, local context, dates, and edge cases while keeping a structured record of each test. This iterative approach helps distinguish a one-off weak answer from a meaningful, reproducible model failure.
Locale knowledge helps detect errors that may appear reasonable globally but are wrong in Japan, such as inaccurate regulations, pricing conventions, service availability, cultural expectations, or language nuance. It enables evaluations that reflect what a Japanese user would actually need.
