About this Role:

This role is a 3-month, W2, full-time contract (40 hours per week.)

Scope of the Role:

We are looking for detail-oriented Voice Specialists to evaluate the performance of AI models through real-time, voice-based conversations. In this role, you will interact with two different AI models using the same assigned scenario, carefully compare their responses, and provide structured evaluations based on defined quality criteria.

The goal of the evaluation is to create a fair, consistent comparison between models and identify which model delivers the stronger overall conversational experience.

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

• 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.
