Anatomy Expert – Human Pose & Hand Annotation Specialist

About the role

We're looking for detail-oriented individuals with strong anatomical knowledge—students or professionals in Anatomy, Medicine, or Physiotherapy—to help build high-quality datasets used to train and evaluate computer vision models. You'll apply your understanding of human musculoskeletal structure, joint articulation, and hand/finger topology to annotate and quality-check images and video frames with precision. This is a remote, flexible-hours opportunity ideal for people who enjoy meticulous visual work and want to apply their medical/anatomical background outside a traditional clinical setting.

What you'll do

• Annotate human body landmarks, joints, and hand keypoints on images and video frames following mediapipe-style hand topology and skeletal reference standards
• Apply anatomical expertise to identify correct joint positions, range-of-motion boundaries, and plausible vs. implausible poses
• Perform quality assurance reviews on annotations submitted by other contributors, flagging inconsistencies or anatomical inaccuracies
• Exercise visual reasoning to resolve ambiguous cases (occlusions, unusual angles, motion blur) using anatomical judgment
• Follow detailed labeling protocols, style guides, and evolving annotation specifications with high consistency
• Provide structured feedback to help refine annotation guidelines and edge-case handling
• Maintain accuracy and throughput targets while working independently in a remote setting

Requirements

• Background in Anatomy, Medicine, Physiotherapy, Kinesiology, or a closely related field (student status acceptable)
• Strong working knowledge of human skeletal and hand anatomy, including joint mechanics and range of motion
• Prior experience with data annotation, labeling tools, or visual QA work is a plus
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to spot subtle inconsistencies in images/video
• Comfort working with structured protocols, style guides, and iterative feedback loops
• Reliable internet connection and a computer capable of running annotation/QA software
• Strong written communication for documenting edge cases and QA notes

Compensation

Hourly rate of $15–$80, based on experience level, annotation speed, and QA accuracy. Flexible, remote, part-time or full-time engagement available.
