Get Certified as an AI Trainer for Robotics Projects at iMerit

If you have a sharp eye for detail and want to break into AI data work, iMerit Technology has an interesting opening. The San Francisco and Kolkata-based company is running a certification process for contractors who want to be considered for future robotics AI projects — meaning you qualify now and get tapped when paid work becomes available.

The actual work centers on video annotation: watching short clips and labeling objects, actions, and events. You'd also be assessing whether footage meets quality standards, judging how natural movements look, and flagging anything that doesn't line up with the project guidelines. It's methodical work that rewards people who can stay consistent under repetitive conditions.

There's no specific technical background required, but strong written English and the ability to follow detailed instructions on your own are non-negotiable. This isn't a guided, hand-held role — you need to be self-directed and precise.

The contractor model means flexibility, but also uncertainty: passing the certification doesn't guarantee immediate project assignments. Think of it as getting yourself onto a shortlist. For nomads looking to diversify their income streams with async, location-independent work, that tradeoff can be worth it.
