About this role
From the Claru listing
We are hiring game data collectors to play video games while our software records your gameplay footage and keyboard/mouse inputs simultaneously. The recordings are used to train AI models that learn from human gameplay demonstrations. You play normally while our capture tool runs in the background, logging every keystroke, mouse movement, and click with microsecond precision alongside the video feed.
We need players across a range of skill levels, from casual to competitive. Some AI training methods work best with expert gameplay. Others need diverse demonstrations from many skill levels. Either way, you just play the game and we handle the data pipeline.
Current collection campaigns cover Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, Minecraft, GTA V, Roblox, Genshin Impact, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Marvel Rivals, and other titles. New games are added based on client demand. Sessions last 1-3 hours and you pick your own schedule.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in one of: United States, Canada, Mexico, etc.
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection

Common questions
How much expertise does this role expect?
This listing pays $15-$25/hr, which places it in Claru's mid tier rather than its specialist band. Roles here expect you to apply a written rubric consistently across a large volume of examples and to flag ambiguous cases instead of guessing, rather than to hold a specific credential. The $55-$100/hr listings are where formal domain qualifications start being enforced.
Is Claru desk work a steady queue or does it arrive in batches?
Batches. Claru describes this work as asynchronous with no scheduled hours and no meetings: you claim a batch, complete it and submit. There is no guarantee a new batch is waiting when you finish one, so treat it as recurring project income rather than a fixed weekly wage.
Does Claru publish the rate before I apply?
Yes. Every listing on claru.ai/jobs shows its hourly band on the card and again on the role page, so you can compare a $20-$35/hr labeling role against a $55-$100/hr evaluation role without creating an account first.
How does Claru measure quality on this kind of work?
Through agreement scoring and review. Its evaluation roles set a target for how closely your scores track other annotators, and disagreements with reviewers are resolved in an async comment thread you are expected to answer within a day. Consistently strong scores are what unlock the senior and lead tracks Claru mentions in its listings.
Do task-based AI training roles require an interview?
Most skip a live interview entirely and gate access through an automated assessment or qualification task instead. Where we've confirmed the specific requirement for this listing, it's called out above in What We Know About This Role.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does Software Engineering work look like for a Game Data Collector?
Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a Game Data Collector, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Software Engineering) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Software Engineering background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Coding and Expert are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $15–$25/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Claru's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Can I apply from outside the United States, Canada, Mexico and 1 other country?
This specific role is open only to people based in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply, since they can differ by country.
Who is behind Claru?
Claru is the contributor-facing brand of Reka AI, which collects human data for frontier AI labs across text, vision, video and robotics. Its board splits into regional video capture work and desk-based annotation and evaluation, and the apply link on this page is an affiliate link that does not change your pay or what you are offered.
