About AI training and why this work matters

AI training (also called data labeling or annotation) is the human effort behind safe, reliable AI. For autonomous vehicles, human annotators label behaviors and scenarios that teach models to interpret driving scenes correctly.

These opportunities are often fully remote, flexible, and accessible — a practical way to contribute to cutting-edge systems while working part-time or around other commitments.

The role

You will work as a Driving Behavior Video Annotator, labeling short driving video clips to identify a single frame that best captures a key vehicle behavior. The annotations train perception and decision modules for autonomous driving systems.

This is a contractor, part-time role (less than 20 hours/week) paid hourly at USD 19. Work is performed through a provided annotation interface (labelingSoftware: OTHER) and focuses on action recognition from video.

• Data type: Video (5-second clips).
• Label type: Action recognition — select one behavior label per clip.
• Employment: Contractor, part-time; flexible scheduling under 20 hours/week.
• Pay: $19 per hour (PAY_PER_HOUR, USD).

What you'll do

Follow precise annotation guidelines to watch short driving clips and pick the single frame that best represents the clip's primary vehicle behavior.

Work consistently to meet quality targets and flag ambiguous or problematic clips for review.

• Watch 5-second driving video clips and select one frame that best captures the core behavior.
• Choose the correct label from a predefined list (examples: turning, lane keeping, yielding).
• Apply labeling rules and consistency checks to ensure high-quality annotations.
• Submit work through the provided annotation interface and report unclear cases.

Requirements

Candidates must meet all required items below. Applications that cannot confirm a valid German driver's license will not be considered.

You may redact personal details (birthdate, national ID number) when submitting a license scan; the license ID itself must be verifiable.

• Minimum 1–2 years of experience in data labeling or related annotation work.
• Valid driver's license issued in Germany (must be provided as verification; redaction of sensitive personal fields is allowed).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to apply instructions consistently.
• Comfortable analyzing short driving video clips and recognizing vehicle behaviors.
• Available to work less than 20 hours per week on a flexible schedule.

Who should apply

This role is a good fit for annotators with driving experience, familiarity with vehicle behavior, and a track record of accurate, consistent labeling.

It's well-suited to people seeking part-time, remote contractor work and who can provide a valid German driver's license as part of the application process.

• Entry-level to early-career annotators with 1–2 years’ experience.
• Drivers or road users who understand local driving norms and behaviors.
• Candidates who prefer flexible hours and independent, detail-focused work.

How the application and assessment work

Apply through the OpenTrain platform. The application includes a short assessment with scenario-based questions to confirm your understanding of driving behaviors and your ability to follow annotation guidelines.

Candidates who cannot provide a valid German driver's license will be automatically disqualified. If invited, you will receive onboarding instructions and access to the annotation interface.

• Step 1: Create a free OpenTrain account and submit your application.
• Step 2: Complete a short scenario-based assessment and a sample annotation task.
• Step 3: Provide verification of your German driver's license (with personal details redacted if desired).
• Step 4: If approved, begin contractor work via the provided annotation tool.
