Job description

Image Description Specialist (AI Training)

About the Role

What if your eye for detail and your way with words could directly influence how AI understands the visual world? We're looking for Image Description Specialists to write rich, accurate descriptions of images that help AI systems learn to interpret what they see — from everyday photos to complex diagrams and illustrations.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with strong observational skills and a clear writing style. No photography, art, or AI background required — just a sharp eye and a commitment to quality.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Write detailed, accurate descriptions of a wide variety of images — including photos, illustrations, diagrams, and more
  • Identify and describe key visual elements such as objects, scenes, actions, spatial relationships, and context
  • Follow structured guidelines for description format, depth, and consistency
  • Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large batches of images
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Strong observational skills — you notice the details others miss
  • Clear, descriptive writing ability with a natural eye for precision
  • Comfortable working through structured, task-based assignments at scale
  • Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
  • No photography, art, or AI experience required

Nice to Have

  • Background in writing, editing, journalism, or communications
  • Experience with visual content, accessibility writing, or image captioning
  • Familiarity with AI tools or content annotation platforms

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Contribute to AI development that shapes how technology perceives and understands the visual world
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
