Remote Data Annotation Jobs

Remote data annotation jobs on Rex.zone connect skilled labelers with real AI/ML training workflows. As a data annotation specialist, you curate training data for RLHF, named entity recognition, computer vision annotation, content safety labeling, prompt evaluation, and large language model evaluation within LLM training pipelines. Core duties include precise data labeling, QA evaluation, annotation guidelines compliance, and feedback that drives model performance improvement and training data quality. Explore remote, contract, freelance, and full-time openings with AI labs, tech startups, BPOs, and annotation vendors. Apply on Rex.zone to join projects across NLP, computer vision, and multimodal datasets.

Key Responsibilities

Create high-quality labeled datasets across text, image, audio, and video. Conduct RLHF pairwise preference judgments, red-teaming, and prompt evaluation for large language model evaluation. Perform named entity recognition, intent/slot labeling, sentiment, and taxonomy mapping for NLP. Execute computer vision annotation: bounding boxes, polygons, keypoints, segmentation, and attribute tagging. Handle content safety labeling for policy categories and risk levels. Follow annotation guidelines, maintain training data quality, document edge cases, and escalate ambiguity. Collaborate with QA reviewers, track inter-annotator agreement, and contribute feedback that drives model performance improvement.

Required Qualifications

Proven attention to detail and consistency under production deadlines. Strong written communication and clear reasoning in English; multilingual skills are a plus. Ability to follow complex annotation guidelines and policy rubrics. Familiarity with common tools (Label Studio, Prodigy, CVAT, SuperAnnotate, Scale-like platforms) and basic JSON/CSV handling. Solid judgment for sensitive content and privacy. Comfort using productivity tools (Google Sheets, JIRA/Trello, Slack).

Preferred Skills

Experience with RLHF rating, prompt evaluation, and LLM critique. Knowledge of NLP labeling schemas (BIO/BILOU) and entity linking. Computer vision annotation for objects, actions, and scenes. Content safety moderation and policy interpretation. Statistical understanding of quality metrics (precision, recall, F1, Cohen’s kappa). Domain expertise (medical, legal, finance) and accessibility or bias-awareness best practices.

Workflows and Tools

Operate within structured pipelines featuring gold tasks, consensus labeling, and hierarchical review. Apply annotation guidelines compliance checks and contribute to guideline refinements. Use active learning loops for efficient sampling and error analysis. Participate in large language model evaluation using pairwise/rubric grading frameworks. Track training data quality through dashboards and QA scorecards; provide notes on failure modes that inform model performance improvement.

Evaluation and Quality Assurance

Quality is measured via accuracy against gold standards, inter-annotator agreement, calibration rounds, and periodic audits. Review cycles include double-blind checks, spot QA, and rubric-based scoring. Annotators are expected to meet SLA targets for throughput and quality while documenting corner cases. Continuous feedback improves label consistency and reduces drift across projects and shifts.

Career Paths and Levels

Entry-level annotator, mid-level subject-matter annotator, senior annotator/QA reviewer, team lead, project manager, annotation operations specialist, RLHF rater lead, and data curator. Growth includes specialization in NLP, computer vision, content safety, or LLM training, as well as guideline authoring and QA leadership.

Employment Types and Schedules

Openings include remote, contract, freelance, part-time, and full-time roles, ranging from entry-level to senior. Some shifts may be timezone-specific for handoffs. Projects vary in duration from short pilot sprints to multi-month production engagements.

Who Hires on Rex.zone

AI labs, tech startups building LLM products, BPOs scaling annotation teams, and specialized annotation vendors. Domains include NLP, computer vision, multimodal, and content safety. Roles span RLHF raters, data labeling experts, QA evaluators, prompt evaluators, and LLM training support.

Compensation and Benefits

Rates vary by task complexity, language pairs, and domain: entry-level data labeling may be paid per task or hourly, while advanced RLHF/LLM evaluation and domain-specific annotation typically command higher rates. Long-term projects may include performance bonuses tied to quality metrics.

Remote Data Annotation Jobs: FAQs

Q: What does a remote data annotation specialist do?
They label and review datasets used to train and evaluate AI/ML systems. Tasks include data labeling for NLP and vision, RLHF preference judgments, prompt evaluation, content safety labeling, QA checks, and documenting edge cases that inform model improvements.
Q: Which project types are common on Rex.zone?
NLP labeling (NER, sentiment, intent/slots), computer vision annotation (bounding boxes, polygons, segmentation), content safety labeling, speech/audio tagging, prompt evaluation and large language model evaluation, as well as RLHF rating and red-teaming.
Q: Is this role suitable for entry-level candidates?
Yes. Many projects include training and calibration. Entry-level candidates start on simpler tasks and progress to QA or RLHF/LLM evaluation as they demonstrate consistent quality and adherence to guidelines.
Q: What skills help me stand out?
Attention to detail, guideline comprehension, clear writing, and reliability. Experience with annotation tools, understanding quality metrics (accuracy, F1, kappa), and familiarity with RLHF or prompt evaluation are strong differentiators.
Q: How are pay rates determined?
Rates depend on task difficulty, domain specialization, language requirements, and experience. RLHF/LLM evaluation, medical/legal annotation, and complex vision tasks typically pay more than basic tagging.
Q: Which tools are commonly used?
Label Studio, Prodigy, CVAT, SuperAnnotate, and managed platforms that support consensus labeling, gold tasks, and QA review. For LLM work, projects may use rubric-based graders and pairwise comparison interfaces.
Q: How is quality measured and maintained?
With gold-standard checks, inter-annotator agreement, double-blind reviews, spot audits, and performance dashboards. Annotators follow annotation guidelines compliance and receive feedback to improve training data quality over time.
Q: Can I work freelance, contract, or full-time?
Yes. Rex.zone lists remote roles across freelance, contract, part-time, and full-time schedules, from entry-level to senior and reviewer/lead positions.
Q: How do I apply on Rex.zone?
