SuperAnnotate
AI-powered data annotation platform founded in 2018 offering tools for computer vision, NLP, and generative AI training data, plus freelance SME roles.
What is SuperAnnotate?
SuperAnnotate is an AI-powered data annotation and management platform founded in 2018 by brothers Tigran Petrosyan (CEO) and Vahan Petrosyan (CTO), headquartered in San Francisco, California. Vahan's PhD research in image segmentation formed the technical foundation of the platform, which has since become a leading end-to-end solution for ML and data teams building high-quality AI training datasets. The platform supports multimodal annotation across images, videos, text, and audio, with specialized tools for computer vision (object detection, tracking, segmentation), NLP (topic labeling, sentiment analysis), speech transcription, and LLM annotation including RLHF, question answering, and instruction following. Features include AI-assisted labeling, customizable workflows, robust quality control, and integrations with existing ML pipelines and cloud data sources. SuperAnnotate also maintains a marketplace of crowd-sourced annotators and hires freelance Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for project-based data annotation and model validation. The company has distributed engineering teams including operations in Armenia.
Mission & values
Build the highest-quality training datasets for Generative AI, LLMs, computer vision, and NLP through an end-to-end annotation platform with built-in QA.
Qualifications
For freelance Subject Matter Expert (SME) and AI trainer roles, an application process including a qualification exam is required. Background expertise in the relevant domain is essential — specific requirements vary by project. Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow detailed annotation guidelines are universal requirements. For full-time roles, backgrounds in AI/ML, computer vision, NLP, software development, or data science are sought. The founders' pedigree in academic computer vision research reflects the company's emphasis on deep technical knowledge. Freelance annotation roles operate on a project-basis with availability varying by current demand and skill match. A computer with reliable internet access is required for all remote annotation work.
