Ukrainian Quality Assurance Lead (Remote Contract)

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the centralized platform where AI training and data-labeling freelancers find work and build a unified portfolio they control. We help contributors track opportunities, demonstrate experience, and grow sustainable freelance careers working on the human side of AI.

Why AI training work matters

AI training (data labeling and annotation) is how modern AI systems learn: people prepare, review, and rate examples that teach models to understand language, images, audio, and more. This work is accessible, often remote and flexible, and puts contributors on the cutting edge of how state-of-the-art systems behave.

The role

OpenTrain AI is hiring a Ukrainian Quality Assurance Lead to review AI-generated Ukrainian content and evaluate trainer QA across Ukrainian-language projects. This is a remote contractor, part-time role requiring 20+ hours per week. You will ensure outputs meet project rubrics, maintain style guides, support trainers and QAs, and help scale QA processes for Ukrainian workflows.

What you'll do

• Evaluate Ukrainian AI outputs for accuracy, fluency, grammar, spelling, tone, cultural appropriateness, meaning preservation, instruction-following, and formatting.
• Score outputs against detailed rubrics (evaluation/rating tasks) and provide concise, actionable written feedback to trainers and contributors.
• Spot recurring quality issues and communicate guideline updates to trainers, QAs, and contributors.
• Answer contributor questions about Ukrainian wording, translation fidelity, register, terminology, and edge cases.
• Support onboarding, training calls, and documentation; activate or coach contributors who are not working consistently.
• Maintain and evolve style guides, example sets, and QA documentation to keep quality consistent across distributed teams.
• Identify workflow improvements and help build scalable QA processes for Ukrainian-language projects.

Requirements

• Native or near-native Ukrainian proficiency with strong reading and writing skills.
• Strong English skills for clear project communication and written feedback.
• Experience in Ukrainian writing, editing, translation, localization, content QA, AI training, education, annotation, or related language-review workflows.
• Deep knowledge of Ukrainian grammar, spelling, punctuation, declension, gender agreement, tone, register, and cultural context.
• Comfort working with remote teams and common collaboration tools (Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, project management systems).
• Ability to evaluate content against detailed rubrics and spot mistranslation or inconsistent terminology.
• Prior experience leading or supporting trainers, annotators, reviewers, editors, or QAs is strongly preferred.

Preferred background

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Ukrainian, Linguistics, Translation, Communications, Journalism, Education, Quality Assurance, or a related field.
• Experience with AI training, data annotation, large language models, prompt/response evaluation, or rubric-based LLM QA is a plus.
