About The Role:
What if your native command of Peninsular Spanish could directly shape how AI understands real human conversation? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists with native-level Spain Spanish fluency — based in New York — to produce precise, high-quality transcriptions of spoken Spanish audio, helping build the datasets that teach AI systems to truly listen.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
