Audio Engineer
Alignerr, New York, NY, United States
Audio Engineer (AI Training)
What if your trained ear could directly shape how AI understands and produces sound for millions of people? We're looking for skilled Audio Engineers to critically evaluate AI-generated audio — from speech synthesis and sound effects to music production — and provide the expert feedback that trains the next generation of audio AI systems.
About The Role
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No background in AI or machine learning required — just a sharp, experienced ear and the ability to articulate what you hear.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10-40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Listen critically to AI-generated audio outputs — including speech, music, and sound effects — and evaluate them for quality, naturalness, and technical accuracy
Identify artifacts, distortions, timing issues, tonal inconsistencies, and unnatural elements in generated audio
Provide structured, detailed feedback on mix quality, frequency balance, spatial characteristics, and overall clarity
Rate and compare audio samples using defined evaluation criteria
Suggest concrete improvements to help AI produce more realistic, professional-grade audio
Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
Trained ear with professional or semi-professional audio engineering experience
Solid command of core audio concepts: EQ, compression, reverb, stereo imaging, gain staging, and signal flow
Comfortable critically evaluating audio across genres and formats - voice, music, and sound effects
Strong attention to detail with the ability to articulate technical observations clearly in writing
Experienced with at least one DAW (Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Reaper, or similar)
No prior AI or machine learning experience required
Nice to Have
Background in mixing, mastering, sound design, or post-production
Experience in music production, podcasting, film audio, or broadcast
Familiarity with audio file formats, sample rates, and bit depths
Knowledge of psychoacoustics or audio perception research
Why Join Us
Work on cutting edge AI audio projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible - set your own schedule and work where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Shape how AI listens to, understands, and produces sound at a foundational level
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
