Job Description:
Data Labelers

Role Overview

We are seeking detail-oriented Data Labeling & Validation Specialists to support OCR and Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) systems. This role combines hands-on document annotation with structured validation of automated labeling outputs. You will be a key part of the human-in-the-loop pipeline, ensuring machine learning models are trained on high-quality, accurate ground truth data. Success in this role requires prior hands-on annotation experience and the ability to evaluate whether automated outputs meet quality expectations, identify error patterns, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Annotate semi-structured and unstructured documents across diverse formats and domains.
• Perform labeling across key IDP elements, including text recognition (handwriting), document classification, field extraction (PII, dates, amounts, signatures), and table detection.
• Label document layout elements such as zones, reading order, and hierarchy.
• Verify OCR output accuracy and correct recognition errors.
• Handle complex or ambiguous document formats beyond automated capabilities.
• Maintain high levels of accuracy and consistency across all annotation tasks.
• Review sampled subsets of auto-labeled outputs and validate against ground truth.
• Identify, categorize, and document errors, distinguishing between isolated issues and systematic failure patterns.
• Provide structured, actionable feedback to ML engineering teams.
• Assess confidence scores and flag outputs below quality thresholds.
• Track validation metrics over time and identify quality trends.
• Review annotations completed by other team members to ensure consistency.
• Identify and document edge cases (e.g., unusual layouts, ambiguous fields).
• Participate in calibration sessions to align on annotation standards.
• Provide feedback to improve annotation guidelines and workflows.
• Adhere strictly to data privacy and confidentiality standards.

Required Qualifications

Education & Experience:

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 1+ year of hands-on experience in document annotation or data labeling (direct annotation required).
• Proven ability to maintain high accuracy in repetitive, detail-oriented tasks.
• Experience working with and following annotation guidelines.

Technical Skills:

• Familiarity with annotation tools and labeling platforms.
• Understanding of document structure and layout types.
• Basic knowledge of data privacy and security practices.
• Reliable computer and high-speed internet connection.
• Strong English reading comprehension and written communication skills.

Analytical Skills:

• Ability to distinguish between isolated errors and systematic issues.
• Strong pattern recognition across large datasets.
• Critical thinking to evaluate ambiguous cases and escalate appropriately.
• High attention to detail when reviewing auto-generated outputs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree.
• 1-2 years of experience in OCR, IDP, or document labeling workflows.
• Experience with auto-labeling systems or AI-assisted annotation tools.
• Background reviewing or auditing machine-generated outputs.
• Familiarity with inter-annotator agreement and data quality metrics.
• Domain expertise in document-heavy industries (e.g., finance, legal, healthcare).
• Proficiency in languages beyond English.
• Experience with spreadsheets, data tracking, or reporting tools.
