Data Annotation Specialist

ABOUT FLOVISION SOLUTIONS

FloVision Solutions is a remote-first startup focused on improving the food supply chain, starting with protein processing. We design computer vision and machine learning-assisted production processes to reduce food waste, improve QA, and enhance staff skills, using proprietary hardware and software to solve customer problems.

FloVision Solutions is a U.S.-based Series A startup with a remotely distributed team across the USA, UK, and Ireland.

POSITION OVERVIEW 

As a Full-Time Data Annotation Specialist at FloVision Solutions, you will play a critical role in the performance of our machine learning models. You will be the primary person responsible for producing high-quality data annotations—labeling and segmenting images, mostly of raw cuts of beef, pork, and poultry. This data directly powers our core products and impacts food waste, yield, and quality improvements for our customers.

We're looking for someone detail-oriented, adaptable, and capable of sustained focus over long periods. You should be comfortable switching gears, learning new tools, and communicating effectively with a remotely distributed team. Previous annotation experience is helpful but not required—we care more about your mindset and ability to learn.

As one of FloVision’s early hires in this role, you will have a high level of ownership and responsibility, helping shape the quality standards for annotations and how they flow into production.

• Provide feedback to the team about improvements in annotation guidelines and tools
• Play an active role in supporting the quality and reliability of the datasets

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• At least one year of experience in a professional workplace environment
• Comfortable working on focused tasks for extended periods

• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow annotation guidelines
• Reliable, responsible, and able to manage deadlines independently
