About Us

At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. The biggest challenge AI companies face today is not half as glamorous as the outside world may think: it's all about data quality. In fact, the success of any AI application today relies on the quality of a model's training data — and for 95% of teams, this essential step is both the most costly, and the most time-consuming, in getting their product to market.


As ex-computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we felt first-hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building AI. AI today is what the early days of computing or the internet were like, where the potential of the technology is clear, but the tools and processes surrounding it are still primitive, preventing the next generation of applications. This is why we started Encord.


We are a talented and ambitious team of 60, working at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, backed by top investors, including CRV and Y Combinator, leading industry executives like Luc Vincent, former VP of AI at Meta, and other top Bay Area leaders in AI. We are one the fastest growing companies in our space, and consistently rated as the best tool in the market by our customers. We have big plans ahead and are looking for a rockstar Data Operations Specialist to join us in building our GTM team.


The Role

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious, multi-talented individual to help build our Data Operations function and have a massive impact on a high-growth business. As a Data Operations Specialist, you will be working with our customers on building world-leading AI applications across a broad set of verticals including retail, insurance, and healthcare. 


You will also work closely alongside the wider Customer Success and Engineering teams as well as the co-founders to shape Encord's direction and help us manage our rapidly expanding customer base.

- Own the results of data annotation projects by orchestrating resources and aligning expectations from client’s Machine Learning team, Encord’s annotation workforces and other internal stakeholders.

- Understand clients' technical requirements from clients and translate them into guidelines that are understandable and executable by our annotation workforce.

3. Other responsibilities

- Work closely with members of the Data Operations team to improve the data annotation and project management process, with the objective to consistently improving quality standards and scalability of the function.
