Turing; India; Remote; INR 165,000 - 303,000; Full time

Job summary

Turing is seeking precise Video Data Annotators to support first-person video understanding projects. You will analyze clips at exact timestamps and answer questions strictly from visible content, ensuring no future frames or external assumptions influence responses.

The role emphasizes disciplined thinking, near-obsessive accuracy, and adherence to strict guidelines while contributing to state-of-the-art vision-language model training.

Qualifications

• Strong attention to detail and ability to spot subtle visual differences.
• Excellent observational and visual interpretation skills.
• Clear and concise written communication.
• Strong reading comprehension and understanding of nuanced questions.
• Critical thinking and logical reasoning (sequence, counting, spatial awareness).
• Ability to remain objective and avoid assumptions beyond visible data.

Responsibilities

• Review first-person video clips and analyze visual content at specific timestamps.
• Provide accurate, concise, and evidence-based answers grounded in visible information.
• Identify and select the exact visual evidence supporting each answer.
• Determine whether a question is valid or unanswerable based on the available video content.
• Ensure no use of future frames or external assumptions when answering questions.
• Maintain high consistency and accuracy across large volumes of tasks.
• Adhere strictly to project guidelines, formatting, and quality standards.
• Perform self-review to ensure alignment between question, evidence, and answer.
