• Reviewing pre-labeled data to ensure it follows detailed guidelines
• Accepting, rejecting, or correcting annotations using our software
• Providing clear notes when corrections are needed

Your work directly supports the development of safer autonomous vehicle technology by ensuring the AI models used on those vehicles are trained with high-quality, accurate data.

Key Responsibilities

• Accurately annotate objects in both 2D and 3D environments

• Ability to stay focused and work efficiently during repetitive tasks
• Comfortable supporting multiple projects and switching priorities when needed
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision
• Clear and effective communication skills
• Legal right to work in Canada
