- Validate the accurate identification of left and right hands in diverse scenarios.
- Detect, flag, and document edge cases such as occlusion, motion blur, gloves, multiple hands, and low-light conditions.
- Apply thorough annotation guidelines and quality rubrics to ensure data reliability and consistency.
- Maintain high accuracy and productivity when managing large datasets for computer vision training.
- Report ambiguous, challenging, or unclear cases to project leads for clarification and guidance.
- Perform quality assurance reviews on previously annotated data as needed.
Preferred Qualifications
- Proven experience in image or video annotation for machine learning or AI projects.
- Proficiency with annotation platforms.
- Strong attention to detail, spatial reasoning, and ability to follow intricate visual guidelines.
- Basic familiarity with computer vision concepts such as landmarks, bounding boxes, confidence scores, and ground truth labeling.
- Experience with hand or human pose estimation datasets, or frameworks.
- Background working on gesture recognition, sign language, AR/VR hand-tracking, or related datasets.
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills for documenting findings and collaborating remotely.

Frequently Asked 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 the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work actually 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 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 Data Science work look like for a Computer Vision Data Annotation Specialist?
Tasks here are scoped to Data Science, not generic labeling. As a Computer Vision Data Annotation Specialist, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Data Science) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Data Science background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
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.
Do I need to be fluent in English or Latin America?
Yes. This role specifically requires English or Latin America proficiency. You will likely be evaluated on written fluency during the assessment, not just conversational level. If English is not your first language or you are not professionally fluent, this is not the right role. Filter for your native language to find better-matched listings.
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.
Can I apply from outside Europe, LATAM, USA?
This specific role is restricted to Europe, LATAM, USA. If you are outside these locations, applying is unlikely to result in an offer even if you pass the assessment. Check the full job description for any VPN or tax-residency caveats.
