About the Role

We are seeking filmmakers, cinematographers, and video production professionals with strong visual attention to detail to review and annotate video footage of robotic systems performing a range of tasks.

You’ll evaluate video sequences, identify task completion and errors, and create precise annotations based on defined grading guidelines. Your experience with cinematography, video editing, visual storytelling, and technical video review will help ensure that annotated datasets accurately capture what is happening within each sequence.

No prior AI experience is required. Your video production expertise and ability to identify subtle visual details are the primary qualifications.

What You’ll Do

  • Review and assess video footage of robotic arms performing a variety of tasks.

  • Annotate video sessions by tagging and labeling actions, events, task outcomes, and relevant visual details according to defined guidelines.

  • Identify and document subtle visual nuances, task completion, errors, inconsistencies, and unexpected behavior.

  • Use video editing and annotation tools to produce accurate, organized datasets.

  • Review annotations for accuracy, consistency, and completeness.

  • Document annotation decisions and maintain accurate project records.

  • Communicate with project stakeholders to clarify requirements and resolve ambiguous examples.

  • Provide constructive feedback that helps improve annotation guidelines and workflows.

What We’re Looking For

  • Professional experience in filmmaking, cinematography, video production, or a closely related field.

  • Strong understanding of visual composition, movement, sequencing, and video content.

  • Experience with video annotation, editing, or detailed video review.

  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to identify subtle visual differences, errors, and inconsistencies.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Ability to clearly document and explain annotation decisions.

  • Ability to follow detailed grading and annotation guidelines consistently.

  • Strong organizational skills and ability to work independently within defined project timelines.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience reviewing, grading, or annotating video for technical, educational, training, or research purposes.

  • Experience with AI training, data labeling, or computer vision projects.

  • Familiarity with commonly used video editing and annotation software.

Engagement & Compensation

  • Contractor engagement.

  • Remote work.

  • $50–$90 per hour.

  • Annual compensation equivalent of $96,000–$172,800 based on 40 hours per week across 48 workable weeks. This is an annualized full-time equivalent and does not represent guaranteed annual earnings.

  • No prior AI experience is required.

  • Fully remote contract role open to candidates in Multiple countries.
  • Compensation: $50 - $90/hour, paid in USD.
  • Vetted and managed by Recruitment Room — no placement fees for candidates.
