About AI Training and Video Annotation

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors review, classify, and annotate examples so AI systems can learn to recognize actions, understand visual information, and produce more reliable results.

Video annotation is especially important for systems that interpret movement and task execution. Your careful review of robotic-arm footage will help turn visual activity into structured data for AI development.

• Work with visual data used to train and evaluate AI systems
• Apply human judgment to actions, events, and outcomes
• Contribute to a fast-growing, cutting-edge technology field

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking experienced Video Annotation Specialists for a project focused on videos of robotic arms performing designated tasks. You will review video sessions, identify important actions and outcomes, and apply detailed grading guidelines to create accurate, consistent training data.

This is an intermediate-level contractor role with an expected project duration of six months or longer. Prior AI experience is not required, although annotation, data labeling, video analysis, or robotics experience is highly valuable.

• Pay: $50–$90 per hour, with an expected rate of $70 per hour
• Role type: Contractor
• Work arrangement: Fully remote and worldwide
• Project duration: Expected to run for 6+ months
• Language: Fluent English proficiency

What You’ll Do

You will work independently while collaborating with project trainers and other contributors. The work requires consistent application of project standards, clear communication, and a proactive approach to resolving uncertainty in visual data.

• Review footage of robotic arms executing assigned tasks
• Identify key actions, events, and outcomes in video sessions
• Apply grading guidelines to tag and annotate events accurately
• Use video annotation tools and platforms to record structured observations
• Document findings and submit annotated datasets according to project standards and milestones
• Communicate progress, challenges, and insights through written and verbal channels
• Collaborate with trainers and contributors to resolve ambiguities
• Participate in quality reviews and incorporate feedback

Required Skills and Qualifications

Success in this role depends on careful visual analysis, reliable organization, and the ability to follow detailed instructions over extended periods. You should be comfortable working independently on structured annotation tasks while communicating clearly when questions or challenges arise.

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Video annotation and data-labeling skills
• Familiarity with video annotation tools or software platforms
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Time management and self-organization
• Ability to work independently and collaborate with others
• Analytical and problem-solving mindset
• Experience with video annotation, data labeling, or similar projects is valuable
• Background in AI training, machine-learning data preparation, video analysis, or robotics is strongly preferred

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is well suited to a detail-oriented, organized contributor who can identify subtle differences and events in video footage and document observations clearly. Experience on structured data-labeling or annotation projects is an advantage, but prior AI experience is not required.

Applicants should be prepared to review visual data carefully, follow grading guidelines consistently, respond to feedback, and manage project responsibilities independently.

• Experienced video annotators and data-labeling contributors
• People with video analysis or robotics experience
• Contributors comfortable reviewing visual data for extended periods
• Self-directed workers who communicate promptly and clearly
• Applicants seeking flexible, remote project-based AI work
