Video Motion Data Collection Specialist (LATAM)

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for people building careers in AI training and data labeling. We help contractors find and grow work collecting, annotating, and validating the human-generated data that trains modern AI.

As the hiring organization for this project, OpenTrain manages onboarding, quality checks, and payments so contributors can focus on producing high-quality data and developing durable freelance careers in the fast-growing AI training industry.

Why AI training and data collection matters

Human-collected datasets power next-generation AI and robotics. Recording accurate video plus inertial sensor (IMU) streams helps models learn how people move, interact with objects, and navigate real-world tasks.

This work is 100% remote, flexible, and often accessible without prior professional experience—perfect for part-time work that directly shapes how AI behaves.
