Mercor is seeking experienced Spanish (Peru) Linguistic Experts to join a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab.

• Native or near-native fluency in Spanish (Peru), with excellent command over grammar, syntax, and stylistics.

• Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in Spanish.

• Strong understanding of Peruvian Spanish nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage, including how it differs from other Latin American and Peninsular Spanish varieties.

• Professional fluency in English.

• Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies (preferred but not required).

• Excellent attention to detail and ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.

• Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed, remote teams.
