AI Training Specialist (Global Egocentric Video)

Toloka Annotators · Vancouver, British Columbia · $16,640 annually

applies via jobs.workable.com

Verdict

Toloka is a legitimate, well-funded multinational company with strong web presence and active careers page, but this posting exhibits a significant location mismatch: the company claims a Vancouver office for this role while its actual offices are in Amsterdam, US, Israel, Switzerland, and Serbia. The salary ($16,640 annually for a part-time AI Training Specialist) is unusually low and the online-only application via Workable (no physical address provided) raises moderate concerns, though the application method itself is not inherently fraudulent.
