Video Annotation Specialist (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your sharp eye for visual detail 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 powers the next generation of AI models — helping machines learn to interpret what they see the way humans naturally do.

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 background required — just a reliable internet connection and a commitment to consistent, quality work.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

Segment videos into individual shots or scenes with precision

Annotate camera angles, shot sizes, movement types, and on-screen actions

Apply structured labels and tags using predefined category systems

Flag unclear shots, ambiguous transitions, or content that falls outside guidelines

Maintain speed and accuracy across high-volume annotation tasks

Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Naturally sharp visual attention — you notice subtle differences others might miss

Comfortable working in web-based labeling tools or spreadsheets

Consistent and methodical when working through repetitive, detail-oriented tasks

Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision

An interest in video, film, or visual media is a bonus — but not required

No professional video production or AI experience required

Nice to Have

Background in film, photography, media studies, or visual arts

Experience with data annotation, content tagging, or quality assurance work

Familiarity with video editing or media production tools

Prior exposure to AI training workflows or annotation platforms

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 understands visual media

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
