Welo Data • New York, NY

15h • $34 • Onsite

About The Position

Welo Data is seeking Data Labeling Associates for Project Perseus, an initiative focused on refining multilingual AI. This role is distinct from traditional annotation, placing individuals at the intersection of human judgment and machine learning. Associates will evaluate cutting-edge AI systems for their handling of Arabic language nuances, cultural context, and safety boundaries. The mission is to achieve Human-in-the-Loop Excellence by critiquing Arabic AI outputs for accuracy, fluency, and tone, identifying biases and risks in Arabic datasets, and helping to refine evaluation frameworks to reflect real-world Arabic dialects and contexts. The position also involves identifying trends in model performance, communicating findings to technical stakeholders, and participating in team calibrations to ensure consistent quality across global AI workstreams. This is a full-time W2 employee position, requiring 40 hours per week, and is based on-site in New York City. The work is described as fast-moving, collaborative, and increasingly central to how modern AI systems are built and deployed.

Requirements

• 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.
