Portuguese Language Expert

What you'll do

You review AI responses and write expert language content with a localisation-quality eye. Beyond the usual checks on accuracy and clarity, the ad asks you to apply senior localisation judgment: terminology, tone and cultural nuance, with errors weighed using MQM and LQA concepts (severity, category, root cause). You fact-check localised content such as units, references, names and dates, write model solutions and rank competing AI responses. Expect structured guidelines and CAT-tool style quality checks.

Who fits

• A bachelor's or higher in translation, linguistics, localisation, communications or a related field
• Native or near-native Portuguese with strong command of the locale conventions for Portugal
• C1 English, reading and writing
• 5+ years of professional localisation or translation experience; multilingual localisation strongly preferred
• Demonstrated MQM/LQA application, and proficiency with CAT tools (translation memory, termbases, automated checks)
• Editorial judgment on register, tone and inclusivity, with extreme attention to detail
• AI data training or evaluation experience preferred

The ad's country list is Brazil and Portugal, yet its last requirement says only candidates based in Brazil will be considered, while the locale it describes is Portugal's. The ad does not reconcile these; check before applying.

What it pays

Up to $30 an hour on an hourly contract, per the ad. The ad does not say what sets an individual rate.

Worth knowing

Good:

• Suits experienced localisation professionals, a group that is often underpaid on conventional work
• MQM/LQA framing means a clear quality standard to meet
• Remote and hourly

Less good:

• The ad says there is no immediate project for this role; qualified applicants are among the first contacted when work arises, so this is a place in an expert pool rather than a seat on a live project.
• The Brazil-versus-Portugal contradiction in the ad is a real risk of wasted effort
• The highest experience bar among this batch's language listings (5+ years) for a $30 ceiling

About this listing

Posted on SME Careers, the hiring site SuperAnnotate uses for expert contractors, and read from its jobs board on 27 October 2026. The board gives no posting date, so we have not stated one. The location wording is as published and conflicts with itself; we have kept both countries as the board lists them. The hiring process, Deel contracting and monitoring rules are covered on the company page. See SuperAnnotate.
