Data & QA Annotation Specialist
Specialists who label, check, and grade the data that keeps the AI copilots honest — annotation, quality assurance, and evaluation review. This is the quiet back-office track that makes the live operator roles reliable.
What the work is
- Label and annotate operational data against a written rubric
- Run quality-assurance passes on AI output and flag failures
- Grade evaluation sets so model behaviour can be measured, not guessed
- Write clear notes on edge cases for the rubric owners

Frequently asked questions
Is annotation work entry-level?
It is accessible without prior field-service experience, but it is not low-skill — the whole role is catching the subtle wrong answer a quick read would miss. The SCOA foundation covers the AI-verification discipline the work depends on.
Does this role require speaking on calls?
No. Data and QA annotation is async, written work — labelling, checking, and grading against a rubric. It suits people who are precise and consistent and prefer focused individual work over live calls.
Can annotation lead to an operator role later?
Yes. Many specialists use the SCOA certificate as a shared entry point and move into operator or coordinator roles as they build confidence on live work. The ladder is SCOA → SCOP → SCTE.
