About the role
We file this job under Data Operations, by the work the posting describes.
Data operations staff do the day-to-day work of getting data processed correctly: loading and checking files, moving records between systems, fixing errors and following set procedures.
Expect Excel, some SQL, close attention to detail, and knowledge of the particular systems the company runs.
Data governance sets the rules for the data; data operations does the hands-on work of processing it and keeping it moving.
Job description
The Gatos team is a cross-discipline production and research data annotation team within Video Engineering. We deliver the labeled data that algorithm teams use to build and evaluate features for millions of devices and users around the world. We're looking for an operations engineer who will own annotation projects from the first request to delivered data. That includes a growing set of AI-assisted and agent-based workflows, where models do much of the labeling and people guide, review and verify the results.
