Role overview

Review and approve image edits used to train AI image-editing models. Compare each edited image with its original, the written prompt, and the L2 edit category.

• Assess realism and technical quality, including lighting, shadows, reflections, perspective, edges, color consistency, and artifacts.
• Confirm unmentioned areas—including identity, pose, background, and resolution—remain unchanged.
• Score tasks using the quality rubric: approved, minor fix, or rework.
• Write constructive, specific feedback and detailed annotations for annotators.
• Flag unclear or inconsistent prompts and escalate recurring issues to the project lead.
• Identify error patterns and contribute to guideline updates and calibration sessions.
• Meet daily review throughput and accuracy targets while maintaining consistent scoring.
