Audio Engineer

Audio Engineer (AI Training)About The RoleWhat if your trained ear could directly shape how AI understands and produces sound for millions of people? We're looking for skilled Audio Engineers to critically evaluate AI-generated audio — from speech synthesis and sound effects to music production — and provide the expert feedback that trains the next generation of audio AI systems.This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No background in AI or machine learning required — just a sharp, experienced ear and the ability to articulate what you hear.Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/weekWhat You'll DoListen critically to AI-generated audio outputs — including speech, music, and sound effects — and evaluate them for quality, naturalness, and technical accuracyIdentify artifacts, distortions, timing issues, tonal inconsistencies, and unnatural elements in generated audioProvide structured, detailed feedback on mix quality, frequency balance, spatial characteristics, and overall clarityRate and compare audio samples using defined evaluation criteriaSuggest concrete improvements to help AI produce more realistic, professional-grade audioWork independently and asynchronously on your own scheduleWho You AreTrained ear with professional or semi-professional audio engineering experienceSolid command of core audio concepts: EQ, compression, reverb, stereo imaging, gain staging, and signal flowComfortable critically evaluating audio across genres and formats — voice, music, and sound effectsStrong attention to detail with the ability to articulate technical observations clearly in writingExperienced with at least one DAW (Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Reaper, or similar)No prior AI or machine learning experience requiredNice to HaveBackground in mixing, mastering, sound design, or post-productionExperience in music production, podcasting, film audio, or broadcastFamiliarity with audio file formats, sample rates, and bit depthsKnowledge of psychoacoustics or audio perception researchWhy Join UsWork on cutting-edge AI audio projects alongside leading research labsFully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work where it suits youFreelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based workShape how AI listens to, understands, and produces sound at a foundational levelPotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
