AI Training Specialist (Egocentric Video)

Verdict

Toloka is a legitimate, well-funded multinational company with strong web presence and active careers page, supporting a business match signal. However, the posting exhibits a significant location mismatch: Toloka's real offices are in Amsterdam, US, Israel, Switzerland, and Serbia—not Vancouver—yet the posting claims a Vancouver location with no local mailing address. The salary of $16,640 annually for a specialized AI role is also notably low, raising concerns about job quality or legitimacy. These factors together elevate fraud risk to the medium band despite the employer's legitimate background.
