Welo Data is an emerging AIβdriven data solutions company that focuses on building highβquality training datasets for robotics, computer vision and natural language processing. Founded by a team of robotics engineers and data scientists, the firm has quickly become a trusted partner for global robotics manufacturers looking to accelerate the learning curve of their autonomous systems. With a culture that blends technical rigor with creative problemβsolving, Welo Data encourages its employees to experiment, iterate and deliver data that powers the next generation of intelligent machines.
The role of AI Video Annotator is a cornerstone of Welo Dataβs Project Cursa, a flagship initiative aimed at creating richly annotated video corpora for robot manipulation tasks. As an annotator, you will be the eyes and voice of the dataset, translating raw robot footage into structured, naturalβlanguage descriptions that feed directly into machineβlearning pipelines. This position is fully remote, allowing you to work from anywhere in India, the Philippines, Mexico or Egypt, while collaborating with a globally distributed team of data curators, robotics engineers and AI researchers.
**Key Responsibilities**
1. Watch short robot manipulation videos captured from three synchronized camera angles (overhead and two wristβmounted views).
2. Segment each video into atomic motions, skills/subβtasks, and overall tasks, ensuring every second is labeled at two or more levels.
3. Write clear, concise, naturalβlanguage descriptions for each segment, adhering strictly to a detailed style guide.
4. Accurately capture both successful actions and failures (e.g., dropped objects, missed grasps).
5. Crossβreference all camera angles to verify object identities, contact points and spatial relationships.
6. Apply consistent vocabulary for actions, spatial terms (left/right, above/below) and object parts (handle, edge, lid).
7. Participate in periodic calibration sessions to align labeling quality with the team and client expectations.
8. Provide feedback on the style guide and suggest improvements based on edgeβcase scenarios.
9. Maintain a high level of productivity while working independently, meeting daily and weekly annotation targets.
10. Use annotation tools such as Label Studio to upload, edit and export labeled data.
**Tech Stack & Tools**: Label Studio (or equivalent), Google Drive for video sharing, Excel/Google Sheets for tracking, basic familiarity with robotics terminology.
**Growth Path**: Starting as a freelance annotator, high performers can progress to Senior Annotator, Quality Lead, or even transition into Data Engineering or Robotics QA roles within Welo Dataβs expanding product teams.
**Why Join Welo Data?** You will contribute directly to cuttingβedge robotics research, gain exposure to AI data pipelines, and develop a niche skill set in video annotation that is in high demand across the AI industry. The flexible remote setup, competitive hourly pay, and a supportive community of data experts make this an ideal entryβpoint for fresh graduates eager to build a career in AIβenabled data engineering.
