Job Title: Data Annotator - STEM (Remote)
Location: Remote

Hours: Flexible; depends on assignment.
Pay: We use a task-based structure that ranges from 10 to 50 dollars per high quality submission. Rates vary depending on factors such as quality of work, project complexity, education level, background/experience (e.g. higher rates for specific fields of study).

Company Overview:
At Snorkel AI, we are pioneering new approaches to high-quality, human-in-the-loop data development for training, tuning, and evaluating AI models. As part of our growing team, you’ll contribute directly to AI advancements by helping us annotate,curate, and perform quality control reviews on large datasets. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge approaches to data development, and push the data frontier of what modern LLMs do and don’t know. 

Role Overview:
Data annotation is the process of labeling or curating data to train, tune, and/or evaluate AI models. This includes tasks like identifying objects in images, tagging pieces of text, or generating multiple-choice questions to support AI models that depend on high-quality labeled data for accuracy. We are seeking detail-oriented Data Annotators, with STEM expertise, to assist with these tasks, ranging from annotating multimodal data (text, images) to generating educational content such as questions.

Specifically, we’re looking to target annotators that have advanced degrees in the following areas:

  • Math
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Engineering
  • Biology
  • Music
  • Medical

This remote role allows for flexible, task-based work, providing opportunities for those who are self-motivated and efficient with their time to make a significant impact while controlling their earning potential.

Key Responsibilities:

Tasks will change project to project, but typically fall into the following buckets of work:

  • Multimodal data annotation: Accurately label and tag data, including images and text, following provided guidelines.
  • Multiple-choice question generation: Create clear and high-quality questions for educational or AI training purposes.
  • Quality assurance: Review and verify your annotations to ensure consistency and correctness across datasets.

Skills and Qualifications:

  • Degree or concentration in one of the above-listed areas
  • Attention to detail: Precision is crucial, as incorrect labeling can impact the performance of machine learning models.
  • English proficiency: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially for generating content and annotating text-based data.
  • Data literacy: Experience or familiarity with handling and processing various types of data is preferred.
  • Technical aptitude: Comfort with basic software tools, spreadsheets, or annotation platforms is beneficial.
  • Self-motivation: Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and meet project goals in a remote work environment.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive and flexible pay that allows you to control your earnings
  • The opportunity to work remotely from anywhere, with flexible hours.
  • A chance to contribute to the development of cutting-edge AI technologies with world class AI/ML research team

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
