About AI Training and Video Annotation

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors review real-world examples, annotate visual data, and evaluate model inputs so AI systems can learn to recognize actions, outcomes, and patterns more reliably.

In this project, your annotations will help prepare high-quality training data from videos of robotic arms performing designated tasks. No prior AI experience is required, although experience with AI training projects is strongly preferred.

• Support the development of next-generation AI systems.
• Use careful visual review to turn video footage into structured data.
• Apply detailed guidelines consistently across assigned video sessions.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking a Video Annotation Specialist to review videos of robotic arms executing assigned tasks. You will identify key actions and outcomes, tag events according to grading guidelines, and document your findings using video annotation tools and platforms.

This is a remote contractor engagement for intermediate-level contributors. The project is expected to run for 1 to 3 months, with compensation of $50 to $90 per hour.

• Role: Video Annotation Specialist
• Engagement: Contractor
• Location: Remote, worldwide
• Experience level: Intermediate
• Project duration: Expected 1 to 3 months
• Pay: $50 to $90 per hour
• Language: Fluent English

What You'll Do

You will independently review assigned footage while collaborating with project trainers and other contributors when interpretation questions arise. Clear communication, careful documentation, and responsiveness to feedback will help maintain consistent annotation quality.

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

Requirements and Preferred Qualifications

This opportunity is suited to detail-oriented professionals who can organize their work independently and make careful judgments when reviewing visual data. Your domain knowledge matters more than prior AI experience, though a background in AI training projects is highly preferred.

The role calls for fluent English and the ability to follow detailed grading instructions while communicating clearly about questions, progress, and challenges.

• Fluent English proficiency.
• Proven experience with video annotation, data labeling, or similar data-centric annotation projects preferred.
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy when reviewing and tagging visual data.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated time management and self-organization for independent project participation.
• Familiarity with video annotation tools and software platforms preferred.
• Background in AI training, machine learning data preparation, or robotics projects strongly preferred.
• Analytical and problem-solving mindset with a proactive approach to annotation challenges.

Why This Work Matters

Every major AI system depends on examples prepared and reviewed by people. By examining robotic task footage and applying consistent labels, you will contribute to the human feedback and data preparation processes that help AI models learn how to interpret and respond to the world.

Remote AI training work can offer flexible opportunities for people who want to participate in cutting-edge technology without needing to enter a traditional AI role.

• Work from anywhere with an internet connection.
• Apply specialized visual review and analytical skills to AI development.
• Help improve how AI systems learn from real-world behavior.
