About the role

What if your eye for detail and talent for clear writing could directly influence how AI understands the visual world?

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with strong observational skills and a clear, descriptive writing style. No background in photography, art, or AI is required — just a sharp eye and a commitment to doing good work.

  • Follow clear formatting guidelines to ensure consistency and quality across large image sets.
  • Maintain high accuracy and attention to detail across high-volume batches.

  • Comfortable following structured guidelines and applying them consistently.
  • Reliable and able to maintain quality and focus over time.
  • Self-motivated and productive when working independently.
