Job description

The Work

You will review video sessions showing robotic arms performing real-world tasks and turn what you see into accurate training data. The work uses visual effects and 3D animation skills to understand robotic activity, not to create rendered assets.

You will follow detailed annotation and grading guidelines, document unclear moments, and complete assigned batches by their deadlines.

• Label robotic-arm movement, object interactions, trajectories, timing, occlusion, spatial changes, task outcomes, and errors.
• Use annotation tools to tag video content accurately and consistently.
• Flag visual anomalies, tracking challenges, and ambiguous moments.
• Write concise notes explaining visual observations and edge cases.
• Review annotations and provide constructive quality feedback when requested.

What It Pays and Takes

This is a remote, part-time contractor role for English-speaking workers in North America, Latin America, Europe, the UK, and Oceania. Prior AI, robotics, or data-labeling experience is not required.

• Pay: $50-$90 per hour.
• Time: 20 or more hours per week.
• Work arrangement: Remote contractor, part time.
• Language: English.
• Preferred background: Visual effects, 3D animation, motion graphics, technical art, computer graphics, or a related field.
• Important skills: Understanding motion, timing, spatial relationships, object tracking, occlusion, and visual continuity.
• You should notice subtle motion changes, visual artifacts, and inconsistencies and explain them clearly in writing.
• Helpful experience: Blender, Maya, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Nuke, After Effects, video annotation, visual quality assurance, computer vision datasets, AI training, or robotics.

About AI Training Work

OpenTrain AI hires and contracts people for AI training work, where human contributors prepare and review examples used to improve artificial intelligence systems. Video annotation helps models understand motion, objects, and events in visual data, so careful reviewers with relevant experience are paid for accurate judgments.
