Computer Vision & ML Expert, AI

Before applying This role is open to contractors in accepted locations only. Please confirm your country is on the list before applying — we're unable to process applications from unlisted locations. List of accepted countries and locations. For US applicants This is a 1099 independent contractor role. It is not compatible with F-1 OPT, STEM OPT, or any visa status that requires W-2 employment, guaranteed hours, or employer sponsorship. We are unable to provide offer letters or employment verification for this role. What You'll Be Doing Help train and evaluate AI models that perceive, interpret, and understand the visual world — from image recognition and object detection to segmentation and visual reasoning:

• Evaluate AI-generated outputs on image recognition, object detection, segmentation, and visual reasoning tasks
• Assess the quality, accuracy, and robustness of computer vision model predictions
• Identify failure modes, edge cases, and biases in visual AI systems
• Create, review, and refine training data annotations for CV pipelines
• Write detailed technical evaluations and suggest concrete improvements
• Work across diverse visual domains — natural images, medical imaging, autonomous systems, document understanding

End result: the model learns to see, interpret, and reason about visual data the way a trained expert would. RLHF in one line: Generate code expert engineers rank, edit, and justify convert that feedback into reward signals reinforcement learning tunes the model toward code you'd actually ship. What You'll Need

• Strong foundational knowledge of computer vision — object detection, image classification, semantic segmentation, pose estimation, or related areas
• Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
• Familiarity with common CV architectures (CNNs, Vision Transformers, diffusion models, etc.)
• Comfortable reading and understanding ML research papers
• Solid understanding of data preprocessing, augmentation, and annotation best practices for visual data
• Detail-oriented and systematic in evaluating model outputs
• Clear, concise written communicator who can explain technical concepts effectively in English
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently

Identity verification: Applicants will be required to verify their identity and confirm they have valid documentation to work as an independent contractor in their country of residence.

Nice to Have

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on CV or ML
• Published research in top CV/ML venues (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, etc.)
• Experience with 3D vision, video understanding, generative models, or multimodal AI
• Familiarity with MLOps tools, experiment tracking, and model evaluation pipelines
• Background in specialized domains such as medical imaging, remote sensing, robotics, or autonomous driving
• Experience with annotation platforms and data quality workflows at scale
• Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, OpenCV, scikit-learn)

What You Don't Need

• No prior RLHF or AI training experience

Logistics

• Location: Fully remote — work from anywhere on the accepted locations list
• Compensation: $30–$70/hr based on location and seniority. Note: the majority of projects run at around $30/hr — higher rates apply to senior profiles and specific project types
• Hours: Minimum 15 hrs/week, up to 40+ hrs/week available — hours vary by project and are not guaranteed week to week
• Engagement: 1099 independent contractor
• Payment: Weekly via PayPal or Stripe

Important: Hours are project-dependent and can vary week to week. We recommend keeping other work options open alongside this engagement rather than relying on it as your sole source of income. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
