Expert network · AI lab hiring contract annotation specialists in Canada
Cohere
Cohere builds foundation models and enterprise AI products and is headquartered in Toronto. It hires Data Annotation Specialists as part-time independent contractors, remote within Canada only, for at least 16 hours a week (most on 12-month contracts): an engineering specialist (civil, mechanical, electrical or chemical) who breaks engineering tasks into steps the model learns from, a data science specialist who reviews and debugs code and model trajectories, a generalist who labels, ranks, audits and corrects model output across consumer-facing domains, and a German writer and translator who does the same work in Modern Standard German. Pay is stated in Canadian dollars: CAD 30 an hour for the engineering, generalist and German roles and CAD 40 for data science. Only these roles are listed here, never Cohere's staff jobs.
