Audio Engineer (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your trained ears could directly shape how AI hears, generates, 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 teaches the next generation of AI audio systems what great sound really means.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI or machine learning background required — just a sharp, experienced ear and the ability to articulate what you're hearing.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Critically evaluate AI-generated audio outputs — including speech, music, and sound effects — for quality, naturalness, and technical accuracy
- Identify artifacts, distortions, timing issues, tonal inconsistencies, and unnatural sonic elements
- Provide structured, detailed feedback on mix quality, frequency balance, spatial characteristics, and clarity
- Rate and compare audio samples using clear evaluation criteria
- Suggest practical improvements to help AI produce more realistic, professional-grade audio
- Work independently and asynchronously — entirely on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Trained ear with professional or semi-professional audio engineering experience
- Solid command of core audio concepts: EQ, compression, reverb, stereo imaging, gain staging, and signal flow
- Comfortable critically evaluating audio across formats and genres — voice, music, and SFX
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to articulate technical observations clearly in writing
- Experienced with at least one DAW (Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Reaper, or similar)
- No prior AI or machine learning experience required
Nice to Have
- Background in mixing, mastering, sound design, or post-production
- Experience in music production, podcasting, film audio, or broadcast
- Familiarity with audio file formats, sample rates, and bit depths
- Knowledge of psychoacoustics or audio perception research
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI audio 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
- Play a direct role in shaping how AI understands and produces sound
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
