AI Data Generalist — Egocentric Video Review

bout the Role

We are looking for 5 detail-oriented generalists to support a series of short-term projects involving egocentric (first-person) video data. The engagement will run for approximately 2 weeks, covering 3 projects, with each individual project expected to last between 3 days and 1 week. The first project is expected to begin Monday morning 17th August (PST).

What You’ll Do

You will review egocentric video data and complete structured quality-review tasks according to project-specific guidelines. The work requires strong attention to detail, consistency, and the ability to make precise judgments about actions occurring in first-person video.

Project 1: Action Segment Boundary Review

For the first project, you will review the boundaries of action segments within egocentric videos.

Dataset

• 50 egocentric videos

• Approximately 1–2 minutes per video

• Approximately 38 action segments per video on average

• Estimated review time: ~30 minutes per video

Responsibilities

• Review action segments identified within each video

• Determine whether segment start and end boundaries accurately correspond to the action being performed

• Adjust or flag incorrect boundaries according to provided guidelines

• Maintain consistent judgment across a high volume of short action segments

• Complete assigned videos within the project timeline

Additional egocentric-data projects will follow during the 2-week engagement. Detailed instructions will be provided at the start of each project.

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Have excellent attention to detail and visual comprehension

• Can carefully distinguish between closely related actions and moments in video

• Are comfortable performing structured, repetitive review work while maintaining accuracy

• Can quickly learn and consistently apply detailed annotation guidelines

• Have strong written English communication skills

Prior experience with video annotation, data labeling, computer vision datasets, or egocentric video is helpful but not required.

Engagement Details

• Openings: 5

• Duration: Approximately 2 weeks

• Projects: 3 short-term projects

• Individual project duration: Approximately 3 days to 1 week

• First project start: Monday morning PST
