AI Benchmark Engineer | Native Language Specialist - French (France) - Remote
LILT (Production) · Contract · Posted 6d ago
We are building a rigorous, verifiable evaluation suite of Terminal-Bench tasks designed to test the limits of large language models on multilingual software challenges. Our goal is to measure multilingual robustness across prompt language effects, non-English data processing, and complex locale/encoding edge cases in terminal workflows.
We are seeking experienced native-speaking software engineers to design, build, and validate these benchmarks. You will create high-signal, high-quality tasks that genuinely test a model's ability to handle multilingual environments without relying on English translation crutches.
Note this is a remote, freelance opportunity
Task Engineering: Evaluating Coding Agents.
Asset Creation: Build realistic task environments using datasets and files in your native language. Crucially, these assets must remain in the target language to genuinely measure multilingual handling.
Prompting & Translation: finding failure points where AI does not work, in your native language
Implementation & Verification: Support the development of robust solutions (reference implementations) and write highly reliable, deterministic verifier scripts (using rubric-based judging only when strictly necessary).
Calibration & Execution: Analyze execution logs and calibrate task difficulty (Easy to Very Hard) using standard Terminal-Bench run configurations against various model tiers (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus).
Quality Assurance: Participate in a rigorous, 4-layer human quality control process (creation, human review, calibration review, and audit) alongside automated LLM-based checks to ensure fairness, grammatical accuracy, and benchmark integrity.
Experience: 5+ years of industry experience in software engineering.
Background: Proven track record at leading technology companies and/or graduation from top-tier engineering universities.
Language: Native or near-native fluency, with a deep understanding of its grammar, register, and phrasing rules. High English proficiency.
Technical Stack: Strong proficiency in Python, standard shell scripting, and data processing.
Workflow: Extensive experience with Terminal/CLI-based development workflows and a working familiarity with coding agents.
Domain Expertise: Deep technical understanding of multilingual text processing pitfalls, including:
Encoding/decoding robustness and Unicode normalization.
Locale-dependent conventions (collation, casing, non-Gregorian dates).
Text I/O, toolchain interoperability, and safe string operations.
(For specific languages) Bidirectional/RTL handling, font fallbacks, and rendering/typography in UI or artifacts.

Not ideal as a full time job or primary income source. Work availability fluctuates with project demand, making this better suited as a supplemental income stream. As a 1099 contractor, you won't receive benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, or retirement contributions, and hours are not guaranteed.
Requires reliable availability and commitment. Once you accept a task, we expect quality work and on-time delivery. Most tasks require a minimum of 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week. If your schedule is unpredictable, this may not be the right fit.
Geographic restrictions may apply. We cannot engage contractors in regions subject to international embargo or sanctions. As a 1099 contractor, you are solely responsible for your own tax obligations. We recommend consulting a tax professional before engaging.
