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 trains the next generation of AI models — helping machines learn to interpret what they see the way humans 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 experience required — just a reliable internet connection and a commitment to quality.

What You'll Do

  • Segment video footage into individual shots and scenes with precision
  • Annotate camera angles, shot sizes, camera movement, and on-screen action
  • Apply structured labels and tags using predefined categories and guidelines
  • Flag unclear shots, ambiguous transitions, or content that falls outside standard categories
  • Maintain consistent speed and accuracy across high-volume annotation workflows
  • Work independently on task-based assignments at your own pace

Who You Are

  • Strong visual attention — you notice subtle differences others might miss
  • Comfortable working in web-based labeling tools or spreadsheets
  • Consistent and methodical when handling repetitive, detail-oriented tasks
  • Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
  • An interest in video, film, or visual media is a plus
  • No professional video production or AI experience required

Nice to Have

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

  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI perceives and understands visual media
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
