Job description

Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge research team to be at the core of the AI revolution, where your expertise fuels the development of the most advanced AI models.

1. Overview

Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge research team and help shape how its next generation of video models is judged. We're seeking film, theater and visual effects professionals who understand how a shot is built, from lighting and grade to framing, camera movement, continuity, texture and performance, to compare AI-generated video side by side and explain which result holds up to a professional eye. This work is ongoing, with new rounds as new models are released.

2. Key Responsibilities

Evaluate pairs of AI-generated videos made from the same prompt and choose the stronger result on specific craft axes: lighting and grade, framing and composition, camera and lens direction, texture and physical realism, shot continuity, and acting and dialogue delivery.

Write short, precise reasons for each judgment that name what worked and what broke, in the language a supervisor would use in dailies.

Check each video against its prompt, including whether the requested camera move, lens, framing or performance was actually delivered.

Take part in calibration rounds with other raters so judgments stay consistent across the pool, and flag prompts or guidelines that are unclear.

Collaborate with other subject matter experts to ensure consistency and accuracy in evaluation data.

3. Core Qualifications

Professional or graduate experience in at least one of the following: film or theater (including current graduate students), character animation focused on human performance, character technical direction, acting coaching or teaching, directing (especially crowd and background action), assistant directing, compositing, lighting, texture or surfacing, render wrangling, color or digital imaging (assistant colorist or DIT), camera department (1st AC or camera operator), editing, or display and AV quality assurance.

Either training at a respected film, theater or animation program plus 2+ years of practical experience, or 4+ years of practical experience including at least two projects with a theatrical release.

A trained eye for detail on screen and the ability to put it into clear, specific words.

Fluency in English. Proficiency in a second dubbing language (French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean or Hindi) is a strong plus.

Access to a good quality display and headphones for reviewing video and dialogue.

Ability to engage reliably for at least 20 hours/week during weekdays.

Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain creative judgments clearly.
