Job description

Welo Data is looking for experienced, detail-oriented professionals to join our team as Data Quality Analysts. This role sits at the center of execution and quality — bridging Data Labeling Associates (DLAs) and Team Leads to ensure work is not only completed, but done right.

You’ll work closely with both people and AI systems — auditing outputs, supporting day-to-day execution, and helping teams apply guidelines correctly in fast-moving, real-world scenarios. The work combines data quality, light project coordination, and hands‑on training, where your ability to guide others and think critically is just as important as your own output.

• Help DLAs navigate ambiguity and apply evolving instructions effectively
• Support onboarding and training of new DLAs through hands‑on guidance and coaching
• Monitor workflows, queues, and blockers — escalating risks and gaps to Team Leads
• Identify patterns, recurring issues, and edge cases in both human and model outputs
• Participate in calibrations, team discussions, and stakeholder syncs
• Contribute to improving guidelines, processes, and overall team performance
• Document findings and feedback in a clear, concise, and actionable way

What We’re Looking For

• Native‑level language proficiency and a university degree (Bachelor’s or higher).
• B2 or superior level of English.

• Strong ability to interpret and apply complex guidelines with consistency.
• Excellent attention to detail with a high bar for quality.
• Ability to stay consistent while working with evolving guidelines and priorities.
• Experience in AI/ML data workflows or human‑in‑the‑loop evaluation environments.
• Prior experience auditing or reviewing the work of others.
• Familiarity with safety, compliance, or policy‑driven content evaluation.

Benefits

• Paid Vacation: 6 days
• Paid Company Holidays: 2 days (Memorial Day and Labor Day)
• Paid Sick Leave: accrued per applicable state law and company policy
