AI data annotator

About the role

As a data annotator you will work on building the datasets that train artificial intelligence systems. The work involves classifying, labelling and verifying text, images or audio following a defined schema, to very high accuracy standards. This is a genuine entry point into the artificial intelligence sector. It requires no prior technical training. It requires judgement, consistency and attention to detail, and the ability to apply the same standard on the thousandth record as on the first. We work in Punta Cana because the eastern corridor labour market brings together native speakers of multiple Latin American Spanish variants in one place, which is exactly what this work needs.

Key responsibilities

• Annotate text, image or audio records according to the labelling schema defined by the client
• Apply semantic and pragmatic annotation criteria consistently
• Reach and maintain the inter-annotator agreement thresholds set for the project
• Identify and escalate ambiguous cases that require a decision from the linguistic lead
• Take part in the weekly calibration sessions across variant desks
• Document recurring patterns and propose clarifications to the labelling schema
• Meet volume targets without compromising accuracy
• Maintain the confidentiality of client data in line with Law 172-13 and the project protocols
• Take part in peer quality review
• Complete continuous training on schema changes and new task types
• Apply the criteria of the assigned regional variant when the project requires it
• Report problems in the annotation tools or in the quality of the source data

Required qualifications

• Native Spanish, with excellent reading comprehension
• Secondary education completed
• Demonstrable attention to detail and the ability to stay consistent in repetitive work
• Comfort working with a computer throughout the working day
• Availability to work onsite in Punta Cana
• Valid Dominican ID or work permit

Preferred qualifications

• University study in progress or completed, especially in humanities, linguistics, communication, psychology or related fields
• English at A2 level or above
• Native speakers of other Latin American Spanish variants: Mexican, Colombian, Venezuelan, Argentine, Peruvian, Chilean
• Previous experience in data annotation, transcription, copy-editing or quality control
• Knowledge of a third language
