Job description

Video Annotation Specialist (AI Training)

About The Role

What if your eye for detail and love of visual media 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 helps AI systems learn to interpret visual media — from camera angles and shot types to on-screen action and scene transitions.

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 AI experience required — just a sharp eye, consistency, and a genuine interest in how images and video tell stories.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Segment video content into individual shots and scenes with precision
• Annotate key visual elements — camera angle, shot size, movement, and on-screen action
• Apply labels and tags to video content using predefined categories and guidelines
• Flag unclear shots, ambiguous transitions, or content that falls outside standard categories
• Maintain speed and accuracy across high-volume annotation workflows
• Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Sharp visual attention — you notice subtle differences others might miss
• Naturally detail-oriented with a consistent, methodical approach to repetitive tasks
• Comfortable working in web-based labeling tools or structured spreadsheets
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision
• Genuine interest in video, film, cinematography, or visual media
• No professional video production or AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Background in film, media studies, photography, or visual arts
• Experience with annotation tools, tagging platforms, or data entry workflows
• Familiarity with video editing software or media production concepts
• Prior exposure to data labeling, content moderation, or quality assurance work

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Contribute to AI development that shapes how technology perceives and understands visual media
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
