About the role

As an AI Tutor specialized in multilingual audio capabilities, you will contribute to SpaceXAI's mission by training and refining Grok to excel in voice interactions, speech recognition, and auditory experiences across diverse languages, accents, and cultural contexts. The role focuses on curating and annotating high-quality audio data to enhance Grok's global accessibility, enabling natural spoken interactions for users worldwide 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 the delivery of high-quality curated audio data that ensures clear, natural spoken output and 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, real-world noise, and multilingual audio processing.
• Work with technical staff to improve annotation tools for efficient audio workflows.

Basic Qualifications

• Native proficiency in Mongolian with exposure to diverse accents, dialects, or regional variations.

• Deep understanding and taste for high-quality audio data.
• 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 fields, or equivalent practical experience in analyzing accent variation and multilingual speech patterns.
• 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.
• Portfolio (strongly preferred for advanced candidates): voice samples, annotated transcripts, or audio-related work demonstrating quality, methodology, and attention to detail.

Location and other expectations
