Job Description

Role Title: German Audio Recording Expert

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging German Audio Recording Experts to participate in a project supporting a major customer. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. We are seeking native German speakers with a robust background in professional audio recording to capture precise, studio-quality voice samples that reflect authentic conversational and narration styles. As a vital contributor, you'll ensure each submission meets strict technical and linguistic standards, helping to build diverse and reliable datasets for advanced machine learning applications.

Scope of Work

  1. Produce and submit high-quality German audio recordings using professional-grade equipment

  2. Follow predefined scripts or prompts to generate accurate and natural-sounding speech samples

  3. Ensure all recordings meet specified technical and linguistic criteria, including clarity, pronunciation, and consistency

  4. Participate in a sample review process by submitting a representative voice recording as part of the engagement

  5. Collaborate with the project team to resolve queries and adjust recordings based on constructive feedback

  6. Document recording setup, processes, and any issues encountered to maintain data integrity

  7. Deliver recordings following project timelines and quality benchmarks

Preferred Qualifications

  1. Native fluency in German, with exceptional pronunciation and diction

  2. Minimum three years of professional audio recording experience

  3. Proficiency with advanced audio recording hardware and software

  4. Strong command of both written and verbal communication for collaboration and documentation

  5. Attention to detail in audio quality control, including noise reduction and sound accuracy

  6. Experience in voice narration, dubbing, or related performance work is a plus

  7. Ability to interpret and accurately deliver a variety of scripts or prompts

Please note that you will need your professional audio equipment during the interview.

About Micro1

Micro1 is building the essential infrastructure for the next generation of artificial intelligence, moving beyond the limitations of static datasets to create a dynamic ecosystem where models truly learn to think and act. At its core, the company understands that the path to frontier intelligence isn't paved with synthetic data alone; it requires the nuance, judgment, and contextual awareness that only expert human guidance can provide. By positioning itself at the intersection of human expertise and advanced reinforcement learning, Micro1 is tackling the hardest problem in AI today: teaching models not just to answer questions, but to reason through complexity and take meaningful actions in unpredictable, real-world environments.

This mission comes to life through Realm, Micro1's flagship training environment. Realm functions as a high-fidelity simulation ground where AI agents are immersed in scenarios that closely mirror the messiness of actual human workflows. Rather than relying on abstract benchmarks, Realm forces models to engage in agentic actions, multi-step decisions, digital navigation, coding, and problem-solving that require genuine comprehension. It is within these realistic sandboxes that world-class human data is generated, creating a continuous feedback loop where expert annotators observe, correct, and guide model behavior. This process does more than just fine-tune outputs; it fundamentally elevates a model's underlying reasoning architecture, ensuring that the intelligence developed in training holds up when deployed into the wild.

But training is only half the equation. Micro1 recognizes that the true test of an AI system lies in its production performance, which is where Cortex enters the picture. Cortex is a contextual evaluation platform designed to move beyond superficial accuracy metrics and provide a granular, real-time view of how agents behave in live settings. It doesn't just flag errors; it surfaces the underlying context behind failures, revealing why an agent struggled with a particular user intent or environmental variable. This insight is invaluable for engineering teams, as it transforms evaluation from a passive checkpoint into an active improvement tool. With Cortex, companies can catch degradation early, understand the nuances of edge cases, and feed those learnings directly back into Realm for retraining, creating a virtuous cycle of continuous advancement.

Ultimately, Micro1 is not merely a data lab or an evaluation tool it is a comprehensive intelligence engine that connects the entire lifecycle of model development. From the expert human feedback that sharpens raw capability, to the realistic RL environments that forge robust agentic behavior, to the contextual oversight that ensures reliability in production, Micro1 provides the integrated foundation that AI labs and enterprises desperately need. As the industry races toward truly autonomous systems, Micro1 stands as the critical bridge between laboratory breakthroughs and dependable, real-world impact, ensuring that frontier models do not just perform well on paper, but deliver genuine value in the complex, dynamic world they are meant to serve.
