About the Role
We are looking for motivated individuals to join our data collection team for an AI robotics
project. As a Data Collector & Annotator, you will record structured video footage of real-world
tasks and annotate the recordings to help train robotic systems.
This role operates across two environments — household setups (Airbnb locations) and a
kitchen setup — depending on your assigned location. Your shift and location will be confirmed

No prior experience in AI or technology is required. Full training is provided before you begin
work.
Key Responsibilities

mount)
• Follow the prescribed annotation format — clearly stating task names, commands, and
action sequences during recording
• Perform physical actions accurately as per the task list assigned for the shift
• Submit demo recordings within the designated time window for quality review
• Maintain consistent quality standards as trained — script compliance, action accuracy, and
environment setup
• Follow guidance from the Supervisor, Trainer, and Live QA during the shift
• Complete the same assigned task for the full shift duration as per the project requirement
• Household setup: perform everyday household tasks (arranging items, picking and placing
objects, etc.)
• Kitchen setup: perform kitchen-related tasks (appliance handling, ingredient placement,
cooking actions, etc.)
What We're Looking For
• Minimum qualification: 10+2 (HSC) or equivalent
• Freshers welcome — no prior experience required
• Basic smartphone proficiency — comfortable handling and operating an iPhone
• Good physical fitness — role involves standing, moving, and performing repeated physical
actions during the shift
• Ability to follow structured instructions precisely and consistently
• Punctual, reliable, and able to commit to fixed shift timings
• Comfortable working in kitchen or household environments depending on location
assignment
• Clear verbal communication — able to state task names and commands audibly on camera
What We Offer
• ₹25,000 fixed monthly salary
• Performance-based daily incentives on top of fixed salary
• Full training provided before Day 1 — no prior experience needed
• Structured work environment with dedicated Supervisor and Trainer support
• Opportunity to be part of a high-growth AI data collection project
Shift preference (morning or evening) and location (Airbnb or kitchen) will be discussed and
confirmed during the interview process.
