Are you considering a flexible student job that won't compromise your studies? At the same time, do you want a job that offers plenty of learning opportunities and may be the first step towards a career in IT?

If you find yourself in this message, the position of Data Annotator at Microblink could be exactly what you're looking for in your next student job.

A little bit about us

Microblink is an AI company with expertise in machine learning. We create unique products and tools in digital identity with the desire to bring the benefits of AI to every person on Earth. Our teams in Zagreb and New York touch hundreds of millions of people every year - with over 800M identity documents processed in more than 70 countries around the world.

Why Student Data Annotators matter to us

We are experts in machine learning, but the first step in machine learning is – machine teaching. And this is exactly what our Data Annotators do: teach machines how to recognize various images and documents. How so? ML algorithms feed on data, but humans first need to tell them what is what so that, in the future, these algorithms can recognize the data on their own. So, without Data Annotators, our ML algorithms wouldn't know how to recognize them on their own, and our AI-based products wouldn't work.
