About this role
From the Claru listing
You'll label text data focused on instruction-following behavior — specifically, evaluating whether a model's output correctly satisfies the constraints and intent of a given user instruction. Tasks include binary labels (did the model follow the instruction — yes/no), multi-attribute scoring (tone, format, completeness, constraint adherence), and span-level annotation (highlight exactly which part of the output fails to follow a stated constraint). You'll work with a detailed labeling guide and per-project instructions that define edge cases explicitly.
The data covers a wide range of instruction types: formatting requests ("respond only in bullet points"), content constraints ("do not mention competitors"), persona instructions, length targets, and structured output requirements (JSON, tables, lists). Each task is self-contained — you read the instruction, read the output, apply the rubric, and submit. Throughput targets are typically 30–50 tasks per hour for straightforward binary tasks, lower for multi-attribute annotation. Work is async and batched.
You should be a strong reader with high attention to detail and the ability to apply written guidelines consistently across varied examples. Prior experience in content moderation, linguistic annotation, or data quality work is directly transferable. You don't need a technical background — but you do need to read instructions carefully and flag ambiguous cases through the proper escalation channel rather than guessing.
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection

Common questions
How much expertise does this role expect?
This listing pays $20-$35/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.
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.
Do I need to install anything to do the work?
No. Claru's annotation and evaluation work runs in browser-based tools, including third-party platforms such as Segments.ai for 3D work and DICOM viewers for medical imaging, so there is no local install to maintain.
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 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.
What does Generalist work look like for an Instruction Following Data Labeler?
You check AI answers to Generalist questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As an Instruction Following Data Labeler, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Generalist experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Data Annotation is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening to test for it.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $20-35/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.
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.
