Video Annotation Specialist Job at Alignerr in New York

Video Annotation Specialist

What if your sharp eye for visual detail could directly influence how AI understands the world through video? We're looking for Video Annotation Specialists to analyze, segment, and label video content that trains the next generation of AI models — helping machines learn to interpret real-world visual media the way humans do.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with strong attention to detail and an interest in film, video, or visual media. No professional experience in video production or AI is required — just a consistent, methodical approach and a genuine eye for what's happening on screen.
