About AI training and video annotation

AI training (also called data labeling or annotation) is the human work that teaches models how to interpret images and video. Annotators provide classifications, frame-level labels, tracking, and written feedback so models learn from structured human expertise.

Video annotation is a fast-growing, remote-friendly way to work in tech. Many roles are flexible and accessible — you do detailed, impactful work that directly shapes how state-of-the-art systems behave.

The role

We are hiring a Video Content Data Labeling Associate to support video annotation projects using short first-person POV household-task videos. You will review source footage, label visual elements, evaluate model outputs, and write clear feedback that improves model behavior.

This is a remote contractor, part-time role. The work focuses on video data with classification and tracking labels and requires careful visual review and consistent application of project rubrics.

• Data type: VIDEO
• Label types: CLASSIFICATION, TRACKING
• Employment: Contractor, Part-time

What you'll do day-to-day

• Classify source video clips according to detailed project categories and labels.
• Track objects and events across frames, applying consistent frame-level labels.
