Image/Video Annotator
Overview
Annotators support large multimodal AI systems by analyzing video and image annotation tasks, recording people, objects, environments, relationships, emotions, and storytelling flow from short clips and stills. You will describe how scenes change over time and note subtle visual cues like mood, lighting, and spatial relationships. The structured data you produce helps train AI models to perceive and reason about scenes, motion, and context similar to human understanding. Work is remote and based on a contract engagement with a 20-hour weekly commitment.
What You'll Do7
- 1Watch brief video clips and review images, then mark the main subjects, settings, actions, and emotional tones you see.
- 2Write clear descriptions of what happens over time in videos, including transitions between scenes and how characters or objects interact.
- 3Tag subtle visual signals like mood, lighting conditions, and the spatial arrangement of elements.
- 4Apply the project's annotation guidelines with precision so the output stays consistent and high quality.
- 5Check AI-generated labels and descriptions for accuracy, proper structure, and relevance to the source material.
- 6Work with project leads to stay aligned as annotation standards and quality expectations evolve.
- 7Build structured datasets that help AI models better understand both still images and moving video.
Requirements9
- 1Strong English reading, writing, and verbal communication skills with high comprehension.
- 2You can follow nuanced instructions with precision and catch small details that matter.
- 3Comfortable with basic computer tools, file uploads, and common audio formats.
- 4You can interpret context and intent from written scripts and visual content.
- 5Prior experience with image or video annotation is a plus, but not required.
- 6Clear written and spoken communication, plus the ability to collaborate with a remote team.
- 7Self-motivated and capable of working independently in a remote setup.
- 8Can commit at least 20 hours per week; the exact minimum will be confirmed closer to onboarding.
- 9Own a reliable desktop or laptop computer with a stable internet connection.
Who Should Apply
Candidates who thrive here have sharp visual observation skills and can write about what they see in clear English. The role suits people who can work independently, meet a 20-hour weekly commitment, and maintain 4 hours of overlap with PST hours. Less suitable are candidates who want open-ended creative work or who get impatient with repetitive labeling. Common reasons for rejection include unclear English writing, missing the required PST overlap, and avoidable errors in sample annotation tasks.

Application Tip
Before starting the assessment, annotate a sample short video and write a structured description that includes the main subjects, actions, lighting, and mood. Review the annotation guidelines one more time before submitting to catch small inconsistencies.
