University or Organization: HERE Global B.V. 
Department: Annotation Team
Job Location: , USA (Telecommute)
Web Address: https://www.here.com/en
Job Title: HERE Arabic Language Annotator
Job Rank: Annotator; Translator

Specialty Areas: Translation; Modern Arabic Language

Required Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)

Description:

HERE Arabic Language Annotator

Summary of the position:
Annotation is how we at HERE measures the success of our HERE mapping
software. When changes are made to HERE Maps, annotation informs us if those
changes are better or worse for our end users. As an annotator, you will help
to: 
- Determine the possible intent of map user-entered map searches, 
- Determine the value of a geographical point-of-interest (POI) being returned
as a map listing, and 
- Confirm information about POIs using web-based research. 

The HERE Arabic Language Annotator position requires detailed web research
skills. The position utilizes on-line resources like official websites, review
sites, web searches, mapping street view, etc as part of the HERE Annotation
Team. The HERE Arabic Language Annotator in particular will require reading
and writing literacy in Arabic for language specific annotation work.

Main Responsibilities: 
- Rate the quality of HERE maps generated POIs from user-entered map searches.
The Annotator must be able to clearly explain their thought process leading to
each rating.
- Perform online research to determine and list the most likely intent of the
user-entered map searches.
- Perform data quality checks on the various attributes of POIs in our mapping
database.
- Be able to evaluate two different lists of software-generated maps search
results.
  
Work Environment:
All annotation work is done remotely through an online portal website. All
data is displayed through specific task templates through the annotation
website. All Annotators follow task-specific annotation guidelines and you
will receive training for your annotation work. Your normal work will be
reviewed by higher-level annotators known as mergers and there will be more
in-depth assessments every quarter. Within that structure, annotation workers
must be creative and open-thinkers. 
 
Scope:
An Annotator is an Individual contributor. Annotators work independently and
remotely. Some workers, after high-performance assessments, are trained as
mergers who perform higher level work. This includes reviewing other
annotator’s work, providing final ratings, and providing feedback to other
annotators as necessary. This long-term position is expected to take 20 hours
each week with flexible work hours as determined by the annotator. 

Impact Decision Making:
Workers make decisions based on the utility provided by the HERE map search
responses, or the correctness of the attributes associated with a POI.
Collectively, this data allows the HERE Team to make informed changes to the
HERE mapping software and determine database quality. Without annotation, we
cannot measure the quality impact of HERE maps software development.
 
Position Requirements:
High school diploma. Proficiency with a variety of web resources and with
computer usage. Reading and writing literacy in Arabic is required. Language
proficiency in more than one language is desirable, but is not a requirement.
You must have access to a laptop, internet, and be able to work 20 hours a
week. This position is only available to those able to work in the United
States of America. 
 
Physical Demands:
N/A

To Apply:
We ask that HERE Arabic Language Annotator applicants send us your resume with
your appropriate phone and e-mail contact information to the application email
provided below. We will only be accepting applicants who can work in the USA
only.
