In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

Scope of Work

- Precisely place landmarks following defined annotation protocols and specified tolerance thresholds.
- Infer and accurately annotate partially occluded or visually challenging joints and landmarks, reasoning through complex hand positions and object interactions.
- Interpret a wide range of hand poses, orientations, and perspectives to ensure consistent and high-quality annotations across varied image and video data.
- Review visual feedback, identify deviations from requirements, and make targeted corrections to maintain annotation quality at scale.

Why this role
Micro1's Anime Illustrator role pays $15-$80 per hour for illustrators who annotate hand and finger landmarks using MediaPipe-style hand topology. The project draws on real anatomical drawing expertise applied to annotation rather than illustration output itself. This role suits illustrators with a strong grasp of hand anatomy and gesture who can follow detailed annotation protocols.

Common questions
Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Design work look like for an Anime Illustrator?
Tasks here are scoped to Design, not generic labeling. As an Anime Illustrator, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Design) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Design background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
anatomy expertise, annotation, mediapipe-style hand topology, and attention to detail 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.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 100 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $15–$80/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 Micro1'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.
