Generalist hourly contract for image-based counting task creation

Overview

This remote, hourly independent contractor role is focused on creating challenging counting tasks for AI models that read images. The work centers on original, unedited photos of real-world scenes and carefully written prompts that require reasoning, not simple object counting. Pay is per task and depends on the number of objects in the hardest prompt.

What You’ll Do

• Take your own original, unedited photos of real-world scenes, especially outdoor settings such as streets, parking lots, building facades, parks, and markets.
• Write 3–5 counting prompts per image that make the model reason, including conditional filters, purpose-based reasoning, spatial relationships, distinguishing similar objects, and zero-answer prompts.
• Make sure each prompt has exactly one correct answer that is obvious and consistent for most people, then verify and record that answer.
• Outline or mask every counted object in an annotation tool so each answer can be checked one by one.
• Try to produce image-and-prompt sets that the model is likely to count incorrectly.

Pay and Working Conditions

• Pay is per task based on the hardest prompt in the set:
• $60 for 0–24 objects
• $70 for 25–49 objects
• $80 for 50–79 objects
• $100 for 80+ objects
• The role is fully remote and can be done on your own schedule.
• You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or ended early depending on needs and performance.
• Payments are made weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.

Requirements

• A sharp eye for detail and patience for accurately counting many objects.
• A phone or camera and access to busy real-world scenes you can photograph yourself.
• Clear, precise writing without vague wording that could create disagreement.
• Comfort with careful, repetitive checking and willingness to act on reviewer feedback.
• Willingness to flag unclear guidelines rather than guess.
• Able to complete the short assessment attached to the listing.
• Must confirm where you work from.

Additional Notes

• Strong submissions should feature original, busy scenes that are difficult for the model to count correctly.
• Every image is checked for originality before submission, and each task is reviewed for accuracy.
• If a task is returned for edits, pay for that task is reduced.
• Strong reviewers may be promoted to review other contributors’ tasks later.
• The company notes that it cannot support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
