About The Position

Welo Data is seeking Data Labeling Associates for Project Perseus. This role is not a traditional annotation position but rather involves working at the intersection of human judgment and machine learning. Associates will evaluate how cutting-edge AI systems handle Arabic language nuances, cultural context, and safety boundaries. The mission includes critiquing Arabic AI outputs for accuracy, fluency, and tone, identifying bias, risks, and failure modes in Arabic datasets, applying complex linguistic guidelines, and communicating findings to technical stakeholders. The work is fast-moving, collaborative, and central to the development and deployment of modern AI systems.

Requirements

• Professional-level proficiency in Arabic and a bachelor’s degree or higher.
• B2 level or superior English skills to navigate technical guidelines and stakeholder syncs.
• 1–2 years of experience in professional writing, journalism, or content creation.
• 2+ years of experience focusing on Safety & Trust in Generative AI data delivery.
• The ability to make sound judgment calls in ambiguous "grey area" scenarios.
• A natural curiosity about LLMs and the confidence to flag issues when a model's behavior feels "off."

Responsibilities

• Critique Arabic AI outputs for accuracy, fluency, and tone, providing structured feedback to drive model improvement.
• Use your 2+ years of GenAI safety experience to identify bias, risks, and failure modes in Arabic datasets.
• Apply complex linguistic guidelines thoughtfully and help refine evaluation frameworks to reflect real-world Arabic dialects and contexts.
• Identify trends in model performance and communicate findings clearly to technical stakeholders.
• Participate in team syncs to ensure consistent quality across global AI workstreams.

Benefits

• Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a wide variety of cuisines.
• Micro-kitchens stocked with premium coffee, beverages, and healthy treats.
• Modern collaborative spaces and unique amenities like rooftop nature parks (at select locations).
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision.
• 401(k) and HSA eligibility.
• Free transport, shuttles, and bike-to-work perks.
