Japanese Bilingual Expert

About the Role

A contract project for micro1 in which Japanese-speaking experts help train and evaluate AI systems. You listen to audio in Japanese and judge how native and fluent the speaker or model output sounds. No prior AI experience is needed; your language knowledge is what counts.

What You'll Do

• Listen to Japanese audio clips and rate the nativeness and fluency of the speaker or model output.
• Assess pronunciation, intonation and linguistic authenticity against the project guidelines.
• Write short, clear English feedback that explains the key linguistic factors behind each rating.
• Justify every evaluation in detail so results stay consistent across reviewers.
• Work with project coordinators to clear up ambiguities in the guidelines or language content.
• Help improve model quality in Japanese understanding and generation by meeting quality and deadline targets.

Requirements

• Native-level proficiency in Japanese, with clear enunciation and natural fluency.
• At least B2 English for written and verbal communication.
• A background in voice work, linguistics, phonetics, audio engineering or a related field is preferred.
• Experience with audio analysis, transcription or linguistic assessment is valued.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to describe subtle language differences.
• Familiarity with media, communications or teaching is an asset.

Compensation & Logistics

Pay is $30-$60 per hour as a contractor. The work is fully remote and flexible. Selection: apply, answer the screening questions, complete an AI interview, then profile review and onboarding with the micro1 Talent Ops team.
