Job description

Note: This opportunity is intended to complement your existing job or business. Contractors record authentic workplace activities as part of their normal work—not staged demonstrations—and are compensated only for footage accepted by Workstream.

Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.

Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.

In addition to our core business, Workstream is home to a small, fast-moving Robotics team focused on advancing the next generation of artificial intelligence and robotics. We partner with a leading AI and robotics company to produce high-quality, large-scale egocentric (first-person) video datasets that help train advanced AI models.

What We Offer

This is a project-based independent contractor opportunity designed to provide supplemental income.

• Earn USD $3.50 for every hour of approved video footage submitted.

• Compensation is based on approved video submissions, not hours worked.

• Videos are reviewed to ensure they meet Workstream's quality and project requirements before payment is approved.

• Payment schedules and submission guidelines will be shared during onboarding.

The video footage you collect will be used to train and validate next-generation robotics systems, helping AI and autonomous robots learn real-world hand movements, object manipulation, and spatial awareness in food service environments.
