Data Linguistic (Arabic and Dutch)

Project overview

This contract role supports language-data and model-training work, collaborating with linguists and data operations teams on collection, curation, translation, localization, and annotation. The core requirements are linguistic knowledge across areas such as syntax and semantics, native Gulf Arabic (Khaleeji) with reading and writing proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic, and experience handling multilingual speech and text data and annotation. The role also calls for familiarity with LLMs and regex, plus basic or intermediate programming and data-analysis skills using SQL, spreadsheets, or similar tools.

The structured input gives an experience band of 3–5 years, while the description says only “some years of experience”; a relevant degree is also specified. The location is Warsaw and the employment type is contract; the work mode is not stated, and although Dutch appears in the title, the description does not specify Dutch-language requirements.
