Arabic QA Lead

Role overview

This is a remote contractor position for an Arabic Quality Assurance Lead who will oversee quality checks, consistency, and trainer performance across Arabic AI training initiatives. The work is hourly in nature and focuses on reviewing Arabic AI-generated content as well as trainer and QA deliverables to ensure they meet project requirements.

You will be responsible for giving clear written feedback, enforcing quality benchmarks, and helping contributors follow the right standards. The role combines language expertise, documentation, coordination, and process support in a fast-moving AI data services environment that supplies training data to major AI companies and foundation-model labs.

Your work will help improve Arabic outputs so they are accurate, natural, culturally suitable, well documented, and aligned with client expectations.

What you will do

• Review Arabic items to catch quality issues and provide regular feedback through direct messages.
• Escalate repeated or serious problems when they occur.
• Keep trainers and QAs updated on Discord about guideline changes, workflow updates, and quality expectations.
• Answer questions from trainers and QAs about Arabic grammar, wording, register, dialect, right-to-left formatting, translation accuracy, terminology, and cultural context.
• Reach out to inactive contributors, encourage them to resume work, and track follow-up actions.
• Create, update, and maintain project documentation such as style guides, trackers, FAQs, quality notes, examples, honeypots, and onboarding resources.
• Organize and lead onboarding or training calls to explain expectations, workflows, rubrics, quality standards, and Arabic-specific style rules.
• Make sure all trainers and QAs apply Arabic guidelines consistently as projects change.
• Spot recurring weaknesses in the workflow and suggest practical improvements for scalable QA operations.

Selection process

The hiring process includes an AI interview, a domain-specific task, and a recruiter interview.
