Hindi Content Annotation Specialist

Contract Type: Remote

Language Requirement: Native/Fluent Hindi and English

About the Role

We're hiring Hindi-speaking annotators for a content evaluation + annotation project. You'll review short-form video content in Hindi and write structured assessments across multiple dimensions. Your work feeds directly into AI systems used for content integrity and trust and safety.

What You'll Do

• Review Hindi-language video content and write detailed evaluations in English

• Identify and describe problematic content, including implied meaning, coded language, cultural subtext, and suggestive framing

• Assess viewer impact across emotional and sensitivity dimensions

• Apply structured rating frameworks to categorize content appropriateness

• Research unfamiliar references (Hindi slang, trending memes, regional context) to make sure your evaluations are accurate

• Triage content that doesn't meet review criteria, such as wrong language or broken media

Content Warning

This role involves regular exposure to harmful and disturbing content, including violence, explicit language, and mature themes. A signed content release and waiver is required before onboarding. Please consider this carefully before applying.

Requirements

• Native or fluent Hindi speaker with a deep understanding of Hindi internet culture, slang, memes, and regional context

• Professional writing ability in both Hindi and English. You need to articulate nuance, subtext, and cultural context clearly in both languages.

• Strong analytical and interpretive skills. You need to capture what's implied, not just what's shown.

• Ability to evaluate sensitive and disturbing content objectively and consistently

• Familiarity with short-form social media video formats

• Reliable internet connection for streaming video

Ideal Candidate

• Experience in content annotation, content moderation, or trust and safety

• Comfortable working with mature, graphic, or sensitive content on a daily basis

• Detail-oriented. You focus on both the literal content and the underlying intent.

• Able to recognize when Hindi-specific cultural context, slang, or coded language changes the meaning of content that looks harmless on the surface

• Strong written communication. Your evaluations need to stand on their own without the reviewer seeing the source material.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
