Ricardian Labs is building next-generation robotics AI systems. To train these systems effectively, we need high-quality, structured video data recorded by real people following precise instructions. As an AI Video Data Specialist, you will be a core part of our data pipeline ; recording, reviewing, and submitting short-form task videos that directly teach robotic systems how humans interact with the physical world.
We are recruiting to fill the position below:
What You Will Do
Each day, you will:
- Receive a list of video prompts — specific actions, objects, or scenarios to record
- Record approximately 60 short videos per day (each video is roughly 5 minutes long)
- Follow precise recording guidelines (angle, lighting, framing, pace) provided in your briefing
- Review each video before submission to ensure it meets quality standards
- Upload completed videos to a designated shared workspace (Google Drive or designated platform)
- Fill a simple daily log confirming videos submitted and flagging any technical issues
- Communicate clearly with team lead if a prompt is unclear or technically unfeasible
What This Role Is NOT:
- This is not a software or coding job — no technical background required
- This is not creative content creation — you follow structured prompts, not improvise
- This is not passive work — you must meet a daily quota every single working day
- This is not a permanent position — the contract is fixed at 2–3 months, you will be promoted if you show good work ethic and culture
Requirements
You must have:
- A smartphone with a working camera (minimum: iPhone 11 or equivalent Android — 1080p video capable)
- Stable internet connection capable of uploading video files (minimum 5 Mbps upload speed)
- A Google account (for file submission via Google Drive)
- A quiet, reasonably well-lit space where you can record without interruption for several hours
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow instructions precisely
- Reliability — you must be available and productive every working day
- Basic English reading and comprehension (prompts are written in English)
Nice to have (not required):
- Prior experience with any AI data platform
- Basic video recording knowledge (framing, lighting, stability)
- A tripod or phone stand for hands-free recording.
Compensation & Payment
- Salary: N150,000 – N200,000 per month.
- Payment is made on the last working day of each month via bank transfer
- Compensation is not tied to video quality ratings — but consistent quality failures may result in contract termination
- No equity, no benefits — this is a straightforward fixed-term contract
Why Join Ricardian Labs?:
- Contribute directly to cutting-edge robotics and AI research
- Stable monthly income for the duration of the contract — no hustle, no bidding
- Fully flexible schedule — as long as you hit your daily quota, how you structure your 6 hours is your choice
- Work from home or anywhere with a good camera and internet
- Be part of a fast-moving, technology-first Nigerian startup building globally competitive AI systems
Application Closing Date
