We are looking for a Language Technologist to join our team and contribute to the development and enhancement of language-based technologies. As a Language Technologist, you will work at the intersection of linguistics and computer science, helping to design, implement, and evaluate systems that process human language. Your role will involve working with natural language processing (NLP) tools, machine learning algorithms, and large datasets to improve the accuracy and efficiency of language technologies.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including software engineers, data scientists, and product managers to create innovative solutions for language understanding, speech recognition, machine translation, and text analytics. Your expertise in computational linguistics will be essential in building language models, developing grammars, and refining algorithms that enable machines to understand and generate human language.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in linguistics, computer science, or a related field, with experience in programming and working with NLP frameworks. You should be comfortable analyzing linguistic data, developing rule-based and statistical models, and evaluating system performance. Familiarity with multiple languages and dialects is a plus, as is experience with speech technologies and corpus development.
This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge language technologies that impact millions of users worldwide. If you are passionate about language and technology and enjoy solving complex problems, we encourage you to apply.
