About this Role
What You'll Do
- Watch video clips and craft structured prompts that capture the essence of each scene
- Describe characters, settings, camera perspectives, lighting, and mood with precision
- Balance technical cinematographic detail with narrative context and emotional tone
- Produce multiple prompt variants to cover different interpretations of the same scene
- Follow established style guides for wording, specificity, and point of view
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
About the Role
What if your eye for cinematography, mood, and narrative could directly shape how AI sees and recreates the visual world? We're looking for Visual Storytelling Prompt Writers to watch video clips and translate what they see into rich, structured prompts — capturing everything from camera angles and lighting to character emotion and scene atmosphere. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No professional filmmaking or AI background required — just a genuine passion for visual storytelling and a talent for putting what you see into precise, evocative words.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
Who You Are
- A natural visual thinker — you notice framing, atmosphere, and storytelling instinctively
- Strong writer with the ability to describe what you see without relying on dialogue or audio
- Detail-oriented and consistent when working within structured guidelines
- Comfortable switching between creative description and technical shot analysis
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- No professional experience in film, writing, or AI required
Nice to Have
- Background in film, photography, screenwriting, creative writing, or visual arts
- Familiarity with cinematography concepts — shot types, camera movement, lighting styles
- Experience with AI image or video generation tools
- Prior prompt writing or content annotation experience
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and recreates visual storytelling
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment actually like?
Notoriously strict. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for role-specific timed tests — a blank coding environment for engineers, rigorous grammar and fact-checking for writers. There is almost no hand-holding. The critical catch: this is essentially a one-shot process. Fail or abandon the assessment, and you are typically locked out of that role permanently with no option to retake.
How quickly can I start earning after I pass?
Not immediately. Even after passing the assessment and completing identity verification (via Persona) and billing setup (via Deel), you may sit in a waiting pool for weeks or months. You only start earning when a project matching your specific skills launches and you are officially assigned. Do not plan around Alignerr income until you are actively on a project.
Is there a community?
Yes — and it is one of Alignerr's genuine strengths. Once assigned to a project, you are added to Slack channels where you can ask questions, get rubric clarifications from admins, and talk to other AI trainers. This is rare in AI training and makes a real difference when guidelines are ambiguous or change mid-project.
What equipment do I need?
For voice or audio roles at this pay level, you typically need a professional home studio setup (XLR microphone, treated room). Phone recordings or laptop mics are usually rejected by quality control.
How is my work used?
You are providing high-quality "ground truth" data. For writers, this means creative generation. For voice actors, it often means training Text-to-Speech models. Be sure to check the specific contract details regarding rights usage for your voice or likeness.
Is creative freedom allowed?
Yes and no. While you are hired for your talent, you must often follow strict style guides (e.g., "Speak in a neutral tone" or "Write in the style of a technical manual"). The goal is consistency for the dataset.
What is the barrier to entry?
Alignerr is known for difficult technical assessments. You must pass a timed test in your specific domain (e.g., Python, Physics, or Language) before you are eligible for any paid projects.
