About AI Training Work

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback) is the human side of building modern machine learning. Annotators provide the examples and judgment that models learn from — everything from transcribing speech to labeling driving behaviors in video.

These roles are often remote and flexible, making them a great fit for people seeking part-time, location-independent work that still contributes to cutting-edge technologies.

The Role

We are hiring Driving Behavior Video Annotators to watch short driving videos and label a single frame that best captures a specific vehicle behavior. Your annotations will help train perception and behavior modules in autonomous driving systems.

This is a contractor, part-time role expected to be less than 20 hours per week. Work is remote but applicants must hold a valid U.S. driver’s license.

• Data type: Video (5-second clips)
• Label type: Action recognition — select one behavior per clip
• Employment: Contractor, Part-time
• Time: Less than 20 hours/week

What You'll Do

Watch 5-second driving video clips and select one frame that best represents the target behavior (for example: turning, lane keeping, yielding). Each clip is labeled with a single behavior chosen from a predefined list.

Follow detailed annotation guidelines to ensure consistency, flag ambiguous or low-quality clips when required, and meet per-session quality metrics set by the project.

• View each 5-second clip and choose a single frame that captures the behavior
• Assign exactly one label from a provided behavior list per clip
• Follow instruction documents and quality checks for consistency
• Flag unclear, occluded, or low-resolution clips per guidelines

Requirements

You must hold a valid U.S. driver’s license. License ID may be submitted with personal details (birthdate, ID number) redacted; candidates who cannot provide a U.S. driver’s license will be disqualified.

We expect 1–2 years minimum experience in data labeling or a related role and strong attention to detail. Familiarity with common driving behaviors and rules in U.S. road environments is essential.

• Valid U.S. driver’s license (required; redaction allowed for sensitive fields)
• 1–2 years minimum experience in data labeling or annotation
• Ability to analyze short video clips and follow precise labeling instructions
• Reliable internet connection and ability to work remotely

Who Should Apply

Ideal candidates have practical driving experience, previous video or image annotation work, and a track record of accurate, consistent labeling. This role suits detail-oriented people seeking flexible part-time contract work.

No specific programming skills are required. Specialist knowledge of driving, road rules, or professional experience in driving-related fields is a strong plus but not mandatory beyond the license requirement.

How Hiring Works

Application includes a short skills and scenario assessment to confirm your ability to identify driving behaviors and follow annotation rules. You will be asked scenario-based questions and example annotation tasks.

You must confirm your U.S. driver’s license during onboarding (redacted submissions are acceptable). Candidates who cannot provide a valid U.S. driver’s license will not be advanced.

• Initial application and profile creation on OpenTrain
• Scenario-based assessment and sample annotation tasks
• License verification with redaction allowed for personal fields
• Contractor onboarding and access to the project’s annotation tool

Compensation & Tools

Pay rate is USD 18 per hour (PAY_PER_HOUR). Hours are part-time and flexible, up to but typically less than 20 hours per week.

Labeling is completed using the project’s annotation platform (labelingSoftware: OTHER). Training materials and annotation guidelines will be provided.

• Rate: $18.00 USD per hour
• Labeling software: project-specific platform (OTHER)
• Work schedule: flexible, part-time (contractor)
