• Advanced transcription and annotation experience, including handling disfluencies, accents, and prosodic features such as intonation, stress, rhythm, and emotion.
• Background in linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, or sociolinguistics; speech sciences; cognitive science; or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Ability to analyze accent variation, pronunciation differences, and multilingual speech patterns.
• Experience with speech or audio datasets, annotation workflows, or AI training data.
• Knowledge or experience with training voice models and understanding how data quality affects model performance.
• Professional voice experience, such as voice acting, voice recording, podcasting with a measurable audience, or similar audio production.
• Ability to exercise independent judgment in ambiguous audio scenarios and make consistent, defensible annotation decisions.
• A portfolio of voice samples, annotated transcripts, or audio-related work is strongly preferred for advanced candidates.
• Candidates with professional experience in voice, linguistics, speech data, or speech evaluation and research are especially encouraged to apply.
