• Support the delivery of curated audio data that ensures clear, natural spoken output; accurate representation of linguistic and prosodic details such as intonation, rhythm, and accent; and professional audio standards.
• Collaborate with technical staff to develop tasks that improve AI capabilities related to speech modulation, accent variation, real-world recording noise, and multilingual audio processing.
• Work with technical staff to improve annotation tools and audio workflows.

• Background in linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, or sociolinguistics; speech sciences; cognitive science; or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience analyzing accent variation, pronunciation differences, and multilingual speech patterns.
• Experience with speech or audio datasets, annotation workflows, AI training data, or training voice models.
• Understanding of 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 make consistent and defensible annotation decisions in ambiguous audio scenarios.
• A portfolio of voice samples, annotated transcripts, or audio-related work is strongly preferred for advanced candidates.
