Data work built a global industry on African labour and left the wages thin and the datasets elsewhere. Nyansora is hiring for the opposite arrangement: careers rather than piece-work, on a corpus the continent keeps.

## The terms: What we commit to before you read a single role.

- **Professional rates**: Collectors and annotators are employed at professional rates. We do not run piece-work pricing, and we publish the principle so we can be held to it.
- **Real training**: Annotation here is a trained discipline with review, quality scoring and progression, to the standard global labs already pay for.
- **Named work**: Provenance runs through the corpus. The people and communities behind a dataset are recorded, not anonymised into a pipeline.
- **Based in Accra**: The company is built in Ghana, with partner hubs planned in East and Southern Africa as the network grows.

## Open areas: Where the work is.

- **Field collection**: Working with partner communities on consent-based collection of oral histories, proverbs, ceremony records and language data. Requires fluency in Akan (Twi) and, later, Ewe, Ga, Hausa or Yoruba.
- **Annotation and quality**: Transcription, translation, tagging and review to training grade, plus the gold-standard sampling that every release is audited against.
- **Digitization**: Running OCR and transcription lines over gazettes, court records, parish books, theses, newspapers, manuscripts and broadcast archives.
- **Platform engineering**: The pipeline itself: ingestion, provenance metadata, quality tooling and the APIs that serve licensed datasets.
- **Partnerships and community**: The relationships the corpus depends on, across communities, ministries, archives, universities and the customers who license the result.

## How to apply: One email, and tell us what you would work on.

Data is the new gold of the AI age. Africa should be the miner and the owner, not the mine.
