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 Common issues: local relevance, source quality, outdated information, language mismatches, incomplete answers, and region-specific inapplicability.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.

I would document the exact failure, why it matters to the user, and the criteria for a correct response. What would you do if two reliable sources provide contradictory information? 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. Describe how you would write an effective evaluation rubric for an AI answer. 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. How do you approach repeated testing when initial queries do not reveal a failure? 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. Why is locale knowledge important for this project? 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. Next step ## Apply now.
