AI Tutor - Finnish
As an AI Tutor specializing in Finnish at xAI, you will play a pivotal role in enhancing our AI system, Grok, by training it to excel in voice interactions, speech recognition, and auditory experiences across diverse languages and cultural contexts. This position is integral to xAI's mission of creating AI systems that accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence, operating with a flat organizational structure that values hands-on contributions and initiative.
In this role, your primary responsibilities will include curating and annotating high-quality audio data to improve Grok's global accessibility. You will use proprietary software to provide labels, annotations, recordings, and inputs on projects involving multilingual audio clips, voice recordings, speech samples, and auditory elements in various languages. Collaborating closely with technical staff, you will develop tasks that enhance the AI's ability to handle speech modulation, accent variation, noise in real-world recordings, and multilingual audio processing. Additionally, you will work to improve annotation tools for efficient audio workflows.
The ideal candidate will have native proficiency in Finnish, with exposure to diverse accents, dialects, or regional variations, and a minimum B2 level proficiency in English, with clear, natural vocal delivery suitable for audio recording purposes. Strong auditory perception to identify nuances in speech, accents, pronunciation, intonation, and audio quality across languages is essential. Demonstrated ability to handle multilingual audio content, including evaluating speech accuracy, cultural vocal expressions, and contextual interpretation in spoken form, is required. Comfort with providing high-quality voice recordings and feedback on audio samples in multiple languages, along with strong comprehension skills and the ability to make independent judgments on ambiguous or varied audio material, is also necessary.
Compensation for this role ranges from $35 to $45 per hour, depending on factors such as relevant experience, skills, education, geographic location, and qualifications. Benefits for eligible U.S.-based positions include health insurance, a 401(k) plan, and paid sick leave. Specific details and role-specific information will be provided during the interview process.
