About Miko

Miko is a leading AI company creating playful, educational robots that inspire curiosity in children. Our flagship product, the Miko robot, combines advanced conversational AI with a library of educational content to help kids learn and grow. With users worldwide, Miko is on a mission to make learning fun and accessible for children. Our AI models talk, think, and learn with children in multiple languages. We’re now looking for a linguist to help us deepen our understanding of language in AI and to make those conversations even smarter, more meaningful, and more inclusive.

Job Summary

We are seeking a Linguist with relevant experience in LLM/GenAI-based solutions who has worked professionally with English and at least one foreign language (e.g., French, Spanish, German, Polish, etc.). You will evaluate and debug AI-generated translations, identify language-specific issues, and develop prompts and linguistic strategies to improve AI performance in child-focused experiences.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyse AI-translated content between English and various foreign languages to identify syntactic, semantic, grammatical, or contextual errors.
  • Diagnose the root causes of translation failures (e.g., word order differences, idiomatic mismatches, subject-verb agreement, ambiguity).
  • Break down complex linguistic challenges and provide actionable insights to improve AI model performance.
  • Optimise prompts, inputs, and data pipelines for better multilingual outcomes.
  • Work closely with language experts (native or fluent speakers) to validate findings and implement fixes.
  • Contribute to the development of language guidelines, test sets, and evaluation frameworks.
  • Document translation performance issues and propose prompt-level or model-level fixes.
  • Participate in or lead projects aimed at improving multilingual LLM behaviour, especially for content targeting young users.

Required Qualifications And Experience

  • Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Linguistics.
  • Strong command of English linguistics, including grammar, syntax, semantics, and discourse analysis.
  • Proven experience working with or analysing English + at least one foreign language (e.g., French, Spanish, Polish, etc.) in translation, NLP, or linguistic research contexts.
  • Hands-on experience in AI/LLM evaluation, GenAI tools, or prompt engineering.
