We build photorealistic digital humans with our proprietary models, ATMAN (visual identity) and VAANI (voice), which power an enterprise platform that lets these humans speak across languages.
We are now building a dedicated in‑house linguistics function so that our output is not just accurately translated, but linguistically and vocally excellent in every language we ship.
About the Role
Some of the key responsibilities include
- Owning linguistic quality (review, QC, correction) for translated text in your language(s).
- Reviewing and evaluating synthesised voice from VAANI in your language, focusing on linguistic correctness, naturalness, prosody, pronunciation, emotion, and timing.
- Working directly with the VAANI team to define and improve how voice is generated and evaluated in your language.
- Designing the linguist‑facing platform experience: workflows, review screens, and tooling linguists use to translate and validate output.
- Building and maintaining the linguistic assets for your language: style guides, glossaries, evaluation criteria, pronunciation guidance, and a pronunciation dictionary that you contribute to and continually refine.
- Setting the quality standards and turnaround expectations for external vendors and internal speakers, rather than absorbing all the volume yourself.
- Turning linguistic problems into structured, actionable input for engineering and product.
Who You Are
- An excellent linguist, first and foremost.
- Native or near‑native command of your language, with strong English.
- Formal training or equivalent professional experience in linguistics, translation, or localisation.
- Fluent with AI; you already use AI tools in your work and trust them where they earn it.
- Ready to help shape models and platform tools that produce the highest quality translation and voice output in the most efficient way.
- Adaptable and hands‑on, comfortable in a fast‑moving, undefined environment.
- A clear communicator who can explain linguistic nuance to engineers and turn vague product goals into concrete language requirements.
- Quality‑obsessed but pragmatic, holding a high bar and shipping results.
- Nice to Have
- Experience with voice, TTS, or speech evaluation.
- Experience with localisation tooling, CAT tools, or QA platforms.
- Enough technical literacy to understand, at a high level, how these models behave and fail.
- Additional languages.
- Languages We Are Hiring For
- English
- Mandarin Chinese (Simplified)
- Spanish (Latin American and Castilian)
- Hindi
- Arabic (MSA)
- Portuguese (Brazilian)
- Japanese
- Korean
- French
- German
- Italian
- Turkish
Why Join?
You will help define how digital humans speak across the world’s languages, with direct ownership of both the quality and the tools that produce it.
This is a build role, not a maintenance role.
