About HumanSignal
Real-world data is the competitive edge in AI.
HumanSignal is a human data partner for companies building AI models and products. Our customers ship better AI, faster, because we partner with their researchers from real-world data creation to annotation to delivery.
We design and create datasets from scratch, recruit and manage the domain experts who evaluate model output, and run everything through our own platform, Label Studio, the open-source standard for data labeling and evaluation, used by over 1 million practitioners worldwide.
We specialize in the operationally complex: real-world data collection, multimodal pipelines, and multi-step workflows. Advanced ML and AI teams use our enterprise platform to run their own data factories, and our services team to extend their reach where in-house capacity runs out.
If you want to do work that materially shapes how the next generation of AI products gets built, we'd love to talk.

About this role
HumanSignal is building datasets that power next-generation AI systems, and they're recruiting data collectors in South Africa to capture real-world images across diverse environments. In this contract role, you'll photograph objects, scenes, and activities in homes, offices, stores, parks, streets, and other everyday locations according to specific project guidelines. The work is genuinely varied—no two assignments are identical—and you'll be responsible for managing your own schedule, traveling locally to collection sites, ensuring image quality and variation, and uploading your data through provided tools.
This role suits people who are self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently. You'll need a smartphone or camera capable of capturing good-quality images and the reliability to meet project deadlines. Prior experience in data collection or photography isn't required; what matters is your ability to follow instructions carefully, notice details, and work safely and lawfully. The schedule is flexible, fitting around your life rather than the other way around, and the work offers genuine variety for anyone who enjoys exploring and movement.
The position pays up to $6.00 per hour as a 1099 contractor assignment, meaning you won't be an employee of HumanSignal. If you're looking for flexible, independent work that directly contributes to AI development without prior experience barriers, this could be a good fit—provided the compensation and contract terms align with your needs.
