About the Role

You will lead senior-level AI data annotation and evaluation workstreams supporting LLM training pipelines across text, image, and safety domains. You will translate product and research goals into labeling instructions, run calibration, and drive training data quality improvements through QA evaluation and error analysis. Work includes RLHF preference ranking, prompt evaluation, named entity recognition, computer vision annotation (bounding boxes, polygons, keypoints), and content safety labeling aligned with policy and risk requirements.

What You Will Do

Core responsibilities include: (1) create and iterate annotation guidelines for complex edge cases and ambiguity resolution, (2) perform and audit data labeling with measurable annotation guidelines compliance, (3) execute RLHF comparison tasks and preference data curation, (4) run QA evaluation programs (sampling plans, inter-annotator agreement, defect taxonomy), (5) coordinate with cross-functional partners to connect annotation outcomes to model performance improvement, (6) document dataset lineage, versioning, and evaluation criteria for large language model evaluation.

Key Workflows and Task Types

Typical workflows include training data quality audits, golden set creation, rubric-based prompt evaluation, red-teaming and content safety labeling, named entity recognition for NLP pipelines, and computer vision annotation for detection/segmentation. You will work with production tooling for labeling, review, adjudication, and reporting, and you will contribute to scalable SOPs used across distributed teams (including vendors and BPO-style annotation operations).

Required Qualifications

You should have demonstrated experience in AI data annotation jobs at a senior contributor level, including QA evaluation and rubric-based review. You can interpret ambiguous examples, write clear labeling instructions, and enforce annotation guidelines compliance. You understand how labeled datasets impact large language model evaluation, RLHF outcomes, and downstream model behavior. You have strong communication skills and can collaborate across Engineering, Product, and Research to resolve edge cases and maintain consistent labeling standards.

Preferred Qualifications

Preferred experience includes hands-on RLHF workflows, prompt evaluation for conversational AI, content safety labeling and policy-driven evaluation, and multimodal computer vision annotation. Familiarity with dataset sampling, inter-annotator agreement, and error analysis is a plus. Exposure to annotation vendors, freelance/contract annotation operations, or scaling annotation programs for AI labs and tech startups is beneficial.

Tools and Data Practices

You will work with annotation platforms and review tooling, structured rubrics, defect taxonomies, and dataset documentation practices. You will apply consistent labeling conventions, maintain audit trails, and help ensure high-quality, low-noise training data. You will support versioned guideline updates, calibration sessions, and continuous quality monitoring tied to model performance improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Are these senior AI data annotation jobs in Toronto remote?

    Yes. The role is explicitly Remote and is intended to be performed remotely while targeting Toronto search intent and senior AI data annotation workflows.

  • Q: Is this a full-time role or contract/freelance?

    This posting is FULL_TIME. Rex.zone may also list contract and freelance data labeling roles separately, but this job is full-time.

  • Q: What does a senior AI data annotation role do day to day?

    Senior contributors lead data labeling and QA evaluation, refine annotation guidelines, adjudicate edge cases, and run calibration to improve training data quality across NLP, computer vision annotation, RLHF, and prompt evaluation tasks.

  • Q: What is RLHF and why is it included?

    RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) is a workflow where human preferences are collected (often via pairwise rankings) to improve model outputs. Senior annotators help ensure consistent rubrics, preference data quality, and reliable large language model evaluation signals.

  • Q: Which domains are covered: NLP, computer vision, or content safety?

    All three may be included: named entity recognition and prompt evaluation (NLP), bounding boxes/segmentation (computer vision annotation), and content safety labeling for policy and risk alignment in LLM training pipelines.

  • Q: What skills should I highlight to match the role?

    Highlight AI data annotation, data labeling, QA evaluation, annotation guidelines compliance, RLHF, prompt evaluation, named entity recognition, computer vision annotation, content safety labeling, and experience improving training data quality for LLM training pipelines.

  • Q: How is quality measured in senior annotation work?

    Quality is measured through QA evaluation programs such as audits, golden sets, calibration, inter-annotator agreement, defect taxonomy tracking, and linking label quality to model performance improvement and large language model evaluation outcomes.

  • Q: What types of employers use this kind of role?

    AI labs, tech startups, and annotation vendors (including BPO-style operations) commonly hire for senior data labeling and evaluation roles to scale training data quality and model evaluation capacity.
