Video Annotation Specialist

About the Role

What if your sharp eye for visual detail could directly shape how AI understands the world through video? We're looking for Video Annotation Specialists to segment, label, and describe video content that powers the next generation of AI models — helping machines learn to see, interpret, and make sense of moving images.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with strong visual attention and a methodical approach to work. No professional video or film experience required — just a keen eye, reliable focus, and a commitment to quality.
