Job description

About Perit

Perit builds AI and ML training data for frontier labs. We work across audio, image, video, and reinforcement learning environments, producing the high-quality, human-generated datasets that the next generation of models is trained on.

The work

You listen to recorded conversations between a person and an AI voice agent, and rate every agent turn on two things what it said, and how it sounded each with a short written justification in your own words.

What we're looking for

• A good ear for American English. You notice when a voice slips: a robotic patch mid-sentence, a shift in voice identity between turns, pacing that's a beat off, stress landing on the wrong word.
• Real listening comprehension. You can follow fast, casual, overlapping speech without replaying it three times.
• Opinions you can defend. Most of this job is writing one or two sentences on why a response was weak — specifically. "It was okay" is worth nothing to us.
• Your own writing. AI-generated justifications are obvious and we reject them. This is a writing job as much as a listening one.
• The nerve to call something bad. The most common failure we see is someone noticing a problem and then giving it a generous score anyway.

Not for you if you were planning to run the task through ChatGPT, or you want something to half-watch while doing other work. The bar is high, and it's checked.

Terms

• Pay: 25000/month, depending on output
• Fixed Term Contract
• Commitment: 8 hours a day
• No prior experience required — we train you
