Overview
Outlier asks senior specialists in music, audio, speech, linguistics, or visual media to test AI systems against real creative and technical workflows. You turn methods from your field, such as audio production, speech analysis, localization, typography, graphics, or visual production, into practical benchmark tasks. Each task must run and pass review inside a Linux terminal. The contract runs 1 to 6 months at an expected 20 hours per week, and you judge model outputs for domain accuracy, technical quality, and instruction fit.
What You'll Do6
- Design benchmarks from real workflows in your specialty, including audio production, speech analysis, localization, typography, graphics, or visual production.
- Shape each task so an expert can complete and verify it inside a Linux terminal.
- Review AI outputs for domain accuracy, technical quality, and adherence to the task instructions.
- Write task instructions and expected outcomes that make each benchmark repeatable and checkable.
- Probe edge cases where a model's domain knowledge or technical execution falls short.
- Keep benchmark tasks aligned with professional standards from your field.
Requirements4
- Six or more years of professional experience in music or audio, speech or linguistics, or visual media and design.
- A completed bachelor's degree or higher, an eligible conservatory credential, or ABRSM Grade 8 or equivalent theory training as an alternative credential for relevant work.
- Practical comfort in a Linux terminal.
- At least one academic or professional publication where you appear as author or co-author.
Who Should Apply
Specialists with six or more years in music or audio, speech or linguistics, or visual media and design fit this contract. The role suits people who can turn their own production or analysis methods into Linux terminal tasks and who hold a degree, conservatory credential, or ABRSM Grade 8 equivalent plus at least one publication.
Salary Insight
