Full Time Data Annotation Jobs in Austin, TX (NOW HIRING)

Welo Data is looking for detail-oriented and reliable individuals to join our team as Data Labeling Analysts, supporting speech and voice AI systems.

This is a high-impact production role focused on building the datasets that power real-world AI systems. You’ll be working with audio, speech, and language data — helping ensure models are trained on accurate, well-structured, and representative inputs.

While this role is more execution-focused than evaluation-heavy roles, it still requires strong judgment, attention to detail, and consistency. The work sits at the intersection of language, data, and AI systems — where precision and discipline matter at scale.

We’re looking for people who are dependable, focused, and take pride in producing high-quality work, even across repetitive workflows.

• Execute high-volume data labeling and annotation tasks across speech and voice datasets
• Follow detailed guidelines to ensure consistency, accuracy, and data integrity at scale
• Work with audio and language data, including transcription, categorization, and tagging
• Maintain strong throughput while meeting quality expectations
• Escalate unclear or ambiguous cases appropriately
• Adapt to evolving guidelines and workflows as systems and requirements change
• Support baseline data production needs for AI training pipelines
• Contribute to team calibrations and quality alignment sessions 

• Native-level fluency in Russian
• Strong written communication skills and language fundamentals
• 1 year of work experience in data labeling, annotation, or content-focused work; or a Bachelor's degree or equivalent academic qualification in a related field.
• Ability to follow detailed instructions and apply guidelines consistently
• High attention to detail and ability to maintain accuracy in repetitive tasks
• Comfort working in structured, process-driven environments
• Ability to manage time effectively and maintain steady output
• Willingness to ask questions and escalate when needed
• Basic familiarity with AI, speech technology, or language data is a plus 

• Paid Vacation: 6 days
• Paid Company Holidays: 2 days (Memorial Day and Labor Day)
• Paid Sick Leave: accrued per applicable state law and company policy
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance (eligibility applies)
• Health Savings Account (HSA)
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Employee Assistance Program
• Additional voluntary benefits (life, accident, critical illness, etc.)

This role is a critical part of how modern AI systems are built. The data you produce directly impacts how speech and voice models understand and interact with real users.

It’s a great entry point into AI operations, offering exposure to large-scale systems and the opportunity to build foundational experience in data, language, and AI workflows.
