About this role
From the Claru listing
We hire game annotators to label gameplay footage and input data for AI training. You will watch recorded gameplay sessions, identify actions and events, and tag them using our annotation platform. Some projects involve labeling object interactions, player decisions, and environment changes frame-by-frame. Others focus on classifying gameplay strategies, movement patterns, and combat sequences across different game genres.
This role is a good fit if you play games regularly and can describe what is happening on screen with precision. You need to distinguish between different types of in-game actions (movement, combat, inventory management, exploration) and apply consistent labels across hundreds of clips. Previous annotation or QA experience is helpful but not required.
Most projects involve popular titles like Valorant, Minecraft, GTA V, Counter-Strike, and Genshin Impact. Sessions are self-paced and can be completed on your own schedule. We provide detailed annotation guidelines and calibration sessions before each new project.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in one of: United States, Canada, Mexico, and more
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection

Common questions
How much expertise does this role expect?
This listing pays $18-$28/hr, which places it in Claru's mid tier rather than its specialist band. Roles here expect you to apply a written rubric consistently across a large volume of examples and to flag ambiguous cases instead of guessing, rather than to hold a specific credential. The $55-$100/hr listings are where formal domain qualifications start being enforced.
Is Claru desk work a steady queue or does it arrive in batches?
It comes in batches. You pick up a batch when you want, finish it and submit it, with no meetings. A new batch may not be waiting when you finish one, so plan for it as project income.
Does Claru publish the rate before I apply?
Yes. Every listing on claru.ai/jobs shows its hourly band on the card and again on the role page, so you can compare a $20-$35/hr labeling role against a $55-$100/hr evaluation role without creating an account first.
How does Claru measure quality on this kind of work?
Through agreement scoring and review. Its evaluation roles set a target for how closely your scores track other annotators, and disagreements with reviewers are resolved in an async comment thread you are expected to answer within a day. Steady, strong scores open the senior and lead tracks Claru mentions in its listings.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Short, hands-on tasks such as recording videos, sorting images, rating AI answers or checking data. Most take 5 to 60 minutes each.
Can I choose my own hours?
Usually, yes. You log in when you want, pick up a task, finish it and submit it, with no meetings. Other people work from the same pool of tasks, so some days there may be no work until more is added.
What does Generalist work look like for a Game Annotator?
You check AI answers to Generalist questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Game Annotator, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Generalist experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Data Annotation and English are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening to test for them.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $18-28/hr, an hourly rate. Where you land in the range depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
Apply opens Claru's site, where you create an account and follow its sign-up steps.
Can I apply from outside the United States, Canada, Mexico and 1 other country?
This role is open only to people based in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. The limit is usually about where the platform can legally hire, so applying from elsewhere rarely leads to an offer. Check the description for tax or right-to-work rules before you apply, since they can differ by country.
Who is behind Claru?
Claru is the contributor-facing brand of Reka AI, which collects human data for frontier AI labs across text, vision, video and robotics. Its board splits into regional video capture work and desk-based annotation and evaluation, and the apply link on this page is an affiliate link that does not change your pay or what you are offered.
