  • Work with project coordinators to clarify annotation guidance and align deliverables with customer needs.
  • Identify and document nuanced animation features using CGI/VFX knowledge.
  • Maintain consistent, accurate, visually polished submissions.
  • Provide constructive feedback to improve annotation methods and processes.

Qualifications

  • Proficiency in 3D animation with Blender, Maya, or Cinema 4D.
  • Strong understanding of rigging, skinning, and character-movement workflows.
  • Experience with CGI/VFX pipelines and video data annotation or asset-review best practices.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, including the ability to identify and describe subtle differences in movement and visual style.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for remote collaboration.
  • Entry-level or mid-level experience in 3D animation, CGI, or a related field. Senior-level expertise is not required.
  • Interest in contributing high-quality creative work to AI development.
