  • Frontier Data Labeling Service : Specialized data labeling through Alignerr leveraging subject matter experts for next-generation AI models
  • Expert Marketplace : Connecting AI teams with highly skilled annotators and domain experts for flexible scaling

Why Join Us

  • High-Impact Environment : We operate like an early-stage startup focusing on impact over process. Youll take on expanded responsibilities quickly with career growth directly tied to your contributions.

  • Clear Ownership : Youll know exactly what youre responsible for and have the autonomy to execute. We empower people to drive results through clear ownership and metrics.
  • Role Overview

    A robotics dataset is fundamentally different than static 2D imagery. Every sample carries time-dependent movement occlusions state transitions and interaction cycles. Quality issues propagate quickly if not caught earlyone contributor misunderstanding a task can cause hundreds of unusable sequences.

    This role designs the workflows that avoid that outcome.

    You will own contributor scoring inspection percentages AutoQA thresholds and acceptance logiceffectively designing how robotics data goes from raw labeled trusted production-ready.

    What You Will Own

    Workflow Engineering

  • Define contributor onboarding workflows for robotics projects.
  • Build stage-gated review levels (100% review 90% 70% floor threshold).
  • Encode feedback loops so contributors improve and move faster over time.
  • Quality Management

  • Identify failure modes across robotics use cases (hand occlusion tracking drift mis-bounds missing state changes etc.).
  • Translate failure cases into rules triggers and annotation quality checks.
  • Use automated validation (LLM or heuristic) to minimize unnecessary human review.
  • Review Load Optimization

  • Design cost-vs-confidence strategies for review decisions.
  • Track time-to-acceptance rework rate slack time and rejection patterns.
  • Reduce QA overhead as confidence increases.
  • Contributor Confidence Systems

  • Build scoring profiles using :
  • past approval rate
  • rework volume
  • escalation frequency
  • time compliance
  • Use scoring to automatically set review percentages.
  • What You Bring

  • Experience working with robotics or real-world perception data workflows.
  • Ability to identify data consistency issues and convert them into scalable rules.
  • Understanding of large-scale review operations (internal or workforce-based).
  • Experience with measurement frameworks (KPIs for labeling quality).
  • Strong analytical skills with cost-aware decision-making.
  • Why This Job Exists

    Every robotics project scales along three curves :

  • Data volume
  • Cost per sample
  • Reliability requirements
  • Without automated workflow logic cost per labeled sequence grows linearly or worse.

    Your work makes it possible for :

  • contributors to progress faster
  • QA teams to focus only where needed and
  • robotics orgs to iterate models more quickly.
  • You directly impact the throughput and viability of Labelboxs robotics business.
