The job description

About the Role

What if your sharp ears and attention to detail could directly shape the future of AI? We're looking for Audio Quality Reviewers to evaluate audio recordings that power some of today's most advanced AI systems. Your feedback helps ensure AI learns from the clearest, most accurate audio data possible — and your impact is real.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with good listening skills and a keen eye (and ear) for detail. No audio engineering background required.

What You'll Do

Listen to audio recordings and evaluate them for clarity, accuracy, and overall technical quality
Identify issues such as background noise, distortion, mispronunciations, or unnatural cadence
Verify that transcriptions accurately match spoken audio content
Submit structured, detailed feedback using provided evaluation tools
Work through batches of audio independently and at your own pace
Work asynchronously on a schedule that fits your life

Who You Are

You have sharp listening skills and can detect subtle differences in audio quality
Detail-oriented and consistent — you apply the same high standard across every recording
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
Comfortable using audio playback tools and headphones or earbuds
Strong written communication for submitting clear, useful feedback
No prior audio engineering, music production, or AI experience required

Nice to Have

Experience in transcription, voice acting, podcasting, or music
Familiarity with audio quality concepts (clarity, compression, noise floors)
Background in quality assurance, content review, or data annotation

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Contribute to AI development that has a tangible, lasting impact
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
