AI Tutor - Kazakh

Details

SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. The team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. Work is hands-on with a flat organizational structure; leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Strong prioritization and communication skills are expected.

Role overview

As an AI Tutor specialized in multilingual audio capabilities, you will train and refine Grok to excel in voice interactions, speech recognition, and auditory experiences across diverse languages, accents, and cultural contexts. Your work focuses on curating and annotating high-quality audio data to enhance Grok's global accessibility, enabling natural spoken interactions, bridging language barriers through accurate speech processing, and improving the AI's handling of multilingual audio nuances.

Responsibilities

• Use proprietary software to provide labels, annotations, recordings, and inputs on projects involving multilingual audio clips, voice recordings, speech samples, and auditory elements in various languages.
• Support delivery of high-quality curated audio data that ensures clear, natural spoken output, accurate representation of linguistic and prosodic details (intonation, rhythm, accent), and professional audio standards.
• Collaborate with technical staff to develop tasks that improve the AI's ability to handle speech modulation, accent variation, noise in real-world recordings, and multilingual audio processing.
• Work with technical staff to improve annotation tools for efficient audio workflows.

Requirements (Basic Qualifications)

• Native proficiency in Kazakh with exposure to diverse accents, dialects, or regional variations.
• Proficiency in English (minimum B2 level) with clear, natural vocal delivery and pronunciation suitable for audio recording purposes.
• Strong auditory perception to identify nuances in speech, accents, pronunciation, intonation, and audio quality across languages.
• Demonstrated ability to handle multilingual audio content, including evaluating speech accuracy, cultural vocal expressions, and contextual interpretation in spoken form.
• Demonstrated ability to transcribe audio with high accuracy across accents and varying audio quality.
• Comfort providing high-quality voice recordings and feedback on audio samples in multiple languages.
• Strong comprehension skills and ability to make independent judgments on ambiguous or varied audio material, including noisy or accented speech.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, analytical, detail-oriented, and organizational skills.
• Commitment to developing AI that masters sophisticated multilingual audio capabilities.

Preferred skills and experience

• Exceptional attention to linguistic nuance, auditory detail, and data quality beyond standard transcription work.
• Deep understanding and taste of what good/useful audio data is.
• Strong command of advanced transcription and annotation practices, including handling disfluencies, accents, and prosodic features (intonation, stress, rhythm, emotion) with high consistency and accuracy.
• Background in linguistics (phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics), speech sciences, cognitive science, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience working with speech/audio datasets, annotation workflows, or AI training data, including knowledge/experience with training voice models and understanding how data quality impacts model performance.
• Professional experience in voice work (voice acting, voice recording, podcasting) demonstrating attention to clarity and recording quality.
• Demonstrated ability to exercise independent judgment in ambiguous audio scenarios and make consistent, defensible annotation decisions.
• Portfolio strongly preferred for advanced candidates (voice samples, annotated transcripts, or audio-related work).

Location and other expectations

• Tutor roles may be full-time, part-time, or contractor positions depending on role needs and candidate fit.
• Contractor hours vary widely by project scope and availability; on average many projects may require at least 10 hours per week to deliver effectively (not a fixed commitment). Contractors have flexibility to set their own hours.
• Tutor roles may be performed remotely from any location worldwide, subject to legal eligibility, time-zone compatibility, and role-specific needs. For US-based candidates, SpaceXAI cannot hire in Wyoming or Illinois at this time.
• SpaceXAI is unable to provide visa sponsorship.
• For those working from a personal device, required devices: Chromebook, Mac with macOS 11.0 or later, or Windows 10 or later.

Compensation and benefits

• US-based candidates: $35/hour - $45/hour depending on factors including experience, skills, education, geographic location, and qualifications. International candidate compensation details provided during recruitment.
• Benefits vary by employment type, location, and jurisdiction. Benefits for eligible U.S.-based positions include health insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid sick leave (details provided during interview).
