About this role
From the Claru listing
Your job is to generate high-quality human demonstration data by playing games and simulations under controlled conditions. You will follow session protocols that specify the game, the scenario, the objectives, and the annotation requirements. After each session, you fill out a structured form documenting your strategies, mistakes, and key turning points. This data is used to train and evaluate game-playing AI agents.
We are looking for people who can play systematically and document their reasoning. Gaming experience is important, but so is the ability to follow protocols and produce clean annotation logs. If you have done game QA, speedrunning, or competitive gaming, those backgrounds translate well.
Sessions run 2-4 hours and are scheduled in advance. Most contributors complete 3-4 sessions per week. You will need a PC that meets minimum specs for the game engines we use (we will provide these during onboarding). A stable internet connection is required for real-time data upload.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in United States
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
Why this role

Common questions
How much expertise does this role expect?
This listing pays $20-$25/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.
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.
Can I work on Claru from outside the United States?
For the desk-based annotation and evaluation roles, yes: they are listed as remote with no country gate. The country restrictions on Claru apply to its video capture listings, which are limited to the specific markets named on each one.
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.
Do task-based AI training roles require an interview?
Most use an online assessment or a test task instead of a live interview. When the listing says which, it's in the role details on this listing.
What does Generalist work look like for a Gameplay Annotation Specialist?
You check AI answers to Generalist questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Gameplay Annotation Specialist, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Generalist experience matters.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $20-25/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?
This role is open only to people based in the United States. 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.
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.
