Job description

ABOUT PERLE
Perle is an AI infrastructure company building expert-driven training data, evaluation systems, and applied AI products for the world's leading labs and enterprises. Our partners include xAI, Samsung, ELM, and Unisys. Headquartered in San Francisco with experts across more than forty markets, we specialize in the work that requires real human judgment: domain expertise, linguistic nuance, and cultural fidelity that generic data vendors cannot deliver.
Apply here: https://winnow.perle.ai/jobs/89f33ebe-f8bf-4e7d-a44e-3573ec89e1d9
THE ROLE
We are hiring expert Macedonian transcribers to convert audio recordings of native speakers into precise, conventionally formatted written transcripts. The work powers speech recognition, dialogue, and evaluation systems for major AI labs. Audio ranges from clean studio recordings to natural conversational speech in real-world acoustic conditions.
You will be working at the level of expert linguistic judgment. This is not data entry. Decisions about orthography, code-switching, speaker attribution, disfluencies, and non-speech events shape the quality of every model trained on your output.
DIALECT AND SCOPE
Standard Macedonian and its regional spoken varieties, written in Cyrillic. Project audio reflects everyday speech with awareness of distinctions from Bulgarian and Serbian.
Primary speaker regions: Skopje, Bitola, Kumanovo, Prilep, Tetovo, Ohrid.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
  • Transcribe audio recordings into accurate, time-aligned written text following Perle's project-specific style guide
  • Apply correct conventions for speaker identification, overlapping speech, disfluencies, fillers, false starts, and non-speech events such as laughter, background noise, and music
  • Make principled orthographic decisions for dialectal, colloquial, and code-switched speech
  • Flag ambiguous segments, uncertain speakers, and audio quality issues using project conventions
  • Self-review every submission against Perle's quality bar before delivery
  • Engage with QA reviewers on edge cases, calibration sessions, and style guide updates

MUST HAVE
  • Native fluency in Macedonian with lifelong residence or deep immersion in North Macedonia
  • Mastery of Macedonian Cyrillic orthography
  • Ability to distinguish Macedonian from Bulgarian and Serbian in mixed audio
  • Strong ear for regional Macedonian accents
  • At least two years of professional transcription, captioning, court reporting, broadcast, translation, or linguistic annotation experience
  • Demonstrated accuracy at the word level under deadline pressure
  • Comfortable with web-based annotation platforms and variable-speed audio playback
  • Reliable high-speed internet, quality headphones, and a quiet workspace
  • Ability to commit to defined volume per week during active project phases

NICE TO HAVE
  • Background in South Slavic linguistics, translation, journalism, or media
  • Prior experience annotating Macedonian or neighboring Slavic speech data
  • Working knowledge of Bulgarian, Serbian, or Albanian for cross-lingual audio
  • Familiarity with IPA or other phonetic transcription systems
  • Experience with verbatim versus clean-verbatim transcription conventions

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
  • Paid pilot task before full onboarding so both sides can calibrate
  • Per-task or per-minute compensation, with rates tied to audio complexity and turnaround
  • Flexible scheduling, with volume scaling up and down based on active client projects
  • Direct working relationship with Perle's linguistic leads and QA team
  • Eligible for invitation to additional Perle expert projects across related domains

HOW TO APPLY
Apply through Winnow, Perle's job portal at winnow.perle.ai. Find the role for your language under Open Jobs, set up your candidate profile, and complete the fully automated interview, which takes about 25 minutes. We review applications within 24 hours and invite passing candidates straight to the project.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Perle hires experts on the basis of skill, language proficiency, and demonstrated quality. We welcome applicants from every background and every region where our target languages are spoken.
