About the role
- The accuracy of that data depends on people who care enough to get every detail right.
- If that's how you're wired, we want to meet you.
- The problems you are solving are real: annotation defects that go uncaught can affect model training.
Responsibilities
- Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world.
- Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that's why we're building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
- You will apply defined criteria carefully, document every assessment clearly, and escalate anything outside your scope, knowing that your Operations Lead is there to support you.
- Maintain a clean, complete review log for every item assessed. Every assessment is documented. No gaps.
Requirements
- 1-3 years of experience in QA, software testing, operations, content review, or a closely related field.
- Familiarity with U.S. roadways and driving behavior.
- Demonstrated ability to apply evaluation criteria consistently across high volumes of work without losing precision.
- Experience with mapping, 3D tools, or visual software.
- Experience reviewing outputs across multiple modalities such as text, image, sensor data, or video.
- Bachelor's degree.
- High attention to detail: you catch what others miss and document it in a way that someone else can immediately act on.
- Clear, specific written communication: defect notes that describe exactly what failed, how to reproduce it, and what the impact is.
- Reliable and self-directed: you meet cadences and deadlines consistently without needing to be chased.
- Bonus Points
- Exposure to robotics, autonomy, or ML training data production environments.
- At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position the reasonably expected annualized base salary range is $87,000- $118,000. Offers are based on an individual's experience, education, location, and skills. This is a temporary position of a 12 month duration.
