Job Description
About Beatpulse Labs
Beatpulse Labs is a fast-growing Generative AI startup focused on building advanced intelligence systems. Our work sits at the intersection of media, data, and machine learning, supporting next-generation AI models through high-quality human annotation. We are building a global network of talented annotators who help train and refine AI systems by describing and labeling visual content with accuracy and consistency.
Role Overview
As a Video Annotator, you will watch video clips and create clear, structured descriptions of what is visible on screen. Similar to how a continuity supervisor observes and records details during film production, you will pay close attention to people, objects, actions, settings, camera changes, and the sequence of events. The role does not require professional filmmaking experience. Its primary focus is accurately describing what you see, following defined guidelines, and maintaining consistency across annotations.

- Identify shot transitions and notable camera changes when required
- Distinguish between what is directly visible and what cannot be confirmed from the video
- Apply structured labels based on provided guidelines and criteria
- Maintain high levels of accuracy, consistency, and detail
- Meet weekly output targets and deadlines
- Apply feedback to continuously improve annotation quality
- Flag unclear, incomplete, or problematic content when necessary
- Stay up to date with annotation guidelines and process changes
Performance Expectations
- Clear, objective, and grammatically correct descriptions
- Consistent delivery of the assigned annotation volume each week
- High accuracy and adherence to annotation guidelines
- Reliable turnaround times
- Strong attention to visual continuity and changes between shots
