Data Annotation (Full-Time Contract)

About Perit

Perit builds AI and ML training data for frontier labs. We work across audio, image, video, and reinforcement learning environments, producing the high-quality, human-generated datasets that the next generation of models is trained on.

About the role

We're hiring full-time contractors to work on transcription and transcription review across our audio data projects.

Day to day, that means producing accurate transcripts from audio and reviewing work produced by other annotators — correcting errors, applying guidelines consistently, and giving clear feedback. Depending on what's live, you may also work on adjacent projects such as word alignment, where spoken words are matched to their exact position in a transcript. The mix shifts with client needs, so we're looking for people comfortable moving between task types.

The work is detail-heavy and quiet. If you like careful, focused tasks and have a good ear for language, it's a strong fit.

Fully remote and flexible on hours — we care about output and turnaround, not when you're at your desk. This is a full-time commitment, though, so we're looking for people who can give it their working week rather than fit it around another role.

What you'll be doing

  • Transcribing audio accurately and consistently against detailed guidelines
  • Reviewing and correcting transcripts produced by other annotators, and flagging patterns worth fixing upstream
  • Working on related audio annotation tasks, including word alignment, as projects require
  • Maintaining quality scores across sustained volumes of work
  • Raising unclear audio, edge cases, and gaps in the guidelines
What you'll need
  • 1+ year of experience in data annotation, labeling, or AI/ML training data work. You should already be familiar with working to a guideline document and being measured on quality.
  • A laptop or desktop computer. This work can't be done on a phone or tablet.
  • Headphones and a quiet environment. You'll be listening closely to short segments of speech, often repeatedly.
  • A stable internet connection.
  • Strong English writing and comprehension. You should be comfortable reading detailed guidelines and picking up on subtle differences in wording.
  • Availability for a full-time schedule, with [X hours of overlap with our core hours / timezone] .
What we offer
  • A fixed salary on a regular cycle.
  • Fully remote, permanently, with flexible hours
  • A steady pipeline of work rather than gig-to-gig uncertainty
  • Full training and detailed guidelines for every project
  • A route into review, QA, and project lead work as you build a track record
