Computer Vision QA Specialist

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Computer Vision QA Specialist to review image and video annotations for quality, accuracy, and guideline compliance. You will evaluate annotations such as bounding boxes, segmentation masks, polygons, keypoints, object classes, attributes, and video tracks, identifying missing, incorrect, inconsistent, or poorly placed annotations.

You will also make corrections when required, provide clear feedback on quality issues, and communicate unclear cases to the project team. This role requires strong attention to detail, consistency, and the ability to carefully follow detailed computer vision annotation guidelines.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your computer vision QA work directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that visual training data is accurate, complete, consistent, and aligned with project expectations.
