As a Kiembu Bilingual Transcription and Annotation Expert, you will work with Kiembu audio and video recordings for transcription and linguistic annotation. You will also review source materials and model outputs against detailed project guidelines.

This is an entry-level AI training opportunity, and prior AI training experience is not required. Strong real-world expertise in Kiembu and English, language analysis, and careful written communication are central to success.
