Who Should Apply
You're someone who enjoys hands-on, detail-driven work and is genuinely curious about how robots learn. You don't mind repetitive tasks because you see the bigger picture—you're helping build the future of home robotics. You're organized, reliable, and have a knack for following instructions precisely. You're based in Argentina, have a functional home environment, and are ready to start within 24–48 hours of onboarding.
Salary Insight
Pay is per approved hour of data, with an initial rate during a pilot phase and a higher rate after you consistently meet quality benchmarks.
