We are looking for detail-oriented Voice Specialists to evaluate the performance of AI models through real-time, voice-based conversations.

What You'll Own:

• Review an assigned scenario and roleplay a natural conversation with two different AI models.
• Conduct comparable conversations with Model A and Model B, keeping the scenario, conversational approach, and overall interaction as consistent as possible.
• Maintain approximately the same number of conversational turns with each model to support a fair comparison.
• Record your voice during each interaction and pay close attention to the quality and behavior of the model's responses.
• Evaluate each model across five defined evaluation dimensions.
• Identify and categorize relevant error clusters that may occur in the audio or conversation.
• Compare the performance of Model A and Model B based on the evaluation criteria and your observations.
• Select the model that demonstrated the stronger overall performance according to the defined evaluation framework.
• Write a detailed rationale explaining your final preference, referencing specific examples and observations from both conversations.
• Apply evaluation guidelines consistently across different scenarios and model interactions

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Have

• Bachelors Degree
• Strong attention to detail and ability to notice subtle differences in conversational quality.
• Excellent listening and comprehension skills.
• Strong written communication skills, particularly the ability to explain observations clearly and objectively.
• Ability to consistently follow detailed evaluation guidelines.
• Comfort speaking naturally and role-playing different conversational scenarios.
• Ability to compare two interactions fairly without allowing personal preferences to influence the evaluation.
• Strong critical-thinking and analytical skills.
• Reliability and consistency when completing structured evaluation tasks.
• Familiarity with AI assistants, voice-based AI, or conversational systems

The expected hourly salary range for this position is $20-$25 p/hour, based on experience, skills, and qualifications.
