Video Shot Annotation Artist

Video Shot Annotation Artist (AI Training)
About The Role
We're looking for visually sharp, detail-oriented individuals to help teach AI how to see and understand film. As a Video Shot Annotation Artist at Alignerr, you'll work at the shot level — breaking videos into discrete moments and describing them with the precision and clarity that AI models need to learn real cinematic language.
This is a unique opportunity to put your knowledge of film grammar to work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top research labs.
