Crucially, while this outlines typical pathways, we firmly believe that the right person can come from any background. Your unique journey matters more than just a qualification., * Sovereignty Status: Candidates must possess an absolute, unrestricted right to work in the UK (UK Nationals preferred). We cannot offer visa sponsorship or international remote working arrangements for these fixed-term packages. ## Description Supported by a newly secured public funding grant, we are initialising an intensive engineering phase to transition a proprietary, laboratory-validated technical imaging technology from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 Proof of Concept into an operationally ready, commercially viable TRL 7 multi-tenant AI SaaS platform. We are seeking a meticulous and analytical Data Specialist / Annotator to play a vital role in fuel-injecting our artificial intelligence capabilities. In this role, you will be responsible for creating the high-quality datasets that train our Computer Vision and Generative AI systems. Working alongside our Machine Learning Engineers, you will curate, label, and audit massive amounts of visual and text data, ensuring our models achieve peak accuracy and safety before deployment. Visual data in Life Sciences is notoriously complex, and you will act as the human-in-the-loop, translating complex biological images into clean, structured training arrays., * Foundation models like SAM 3 and SAM 2 require precise, high-quality visual prompts to adapt to niche datasets. You will provide the exact pixel-level masks, polygons, and point prompts required to successfully fine-tune SAM 3 for our specific use cases. * For our real-time object detection pipelines (YOLO26 / YOLO11), accuracy depends entirely on bounding box precision. You will ensure thousands of training images are flawlessly labelled with minimal spatial error to prevent model confusion. * Visual data in Life Sciencessuch as cellular imaging, digital pathology, or lab automation videois notoriously complex. You will act as the human-in-the-loop, translating complex biological images into clean, structured training arrays. * When the project scales and we use external third-party data vendors for bulk annotation, you will lead the Quality Assurance (QA) function. You will build annotation guidelines, manage vendor pipelines, and run strict statistical audits on incoming data. * By cleansing raw data, managing versioning at the dataset level, and eliminating corrupt or mislabelled files early, you will prevent "garbage in, garbage out"saving immense amounts of expensive AWS GPU compute time. What you'll bring to our team (key contributions) * High-precision annotation of visual datasets (images and videos) for tasks like object tracking, instance segmentation, and landmark detection using advanced labelling tools. * Review, filter, and structure raw data inputs, eliminating anomalies, duplicate records, or corrupt files to maintain high data integrity. * Perform rigorous quality checks on datasets labelled by internal teams or external third-party vendors, identifying and correcting errors. * Collaborate closely with Machine Learning Engineers within an active Agile environment, participating in daily stand-ups and tracking priorities using Jira and Confluence. * Draft, refine, and maintain detailed data labelling documentation and taxonomies to ensure consistency across the annotation pipeline. ## Related Videos - [Machine Learning for Software Developers (and Knitters)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/154-machine-learning-for-software-developers-and-knitters) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Data Governance in the Era of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1622-data-governance-in-the-era-of-ai) - [42 x 2 Canvases Later: Two Years, Two Minds, Many Lessons](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1458-42-x-2-canvases-later-two-years-two-minds-many-lessons) - [Data Science, ML & AI in the Oil and Gas Industry at NDT Global - Dr. Katja Träumner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1308-data-science-ml-ai-in-the-oil-and-gas-industry-at-ndt-global-dr-katja-traumner) - [Speak, Code, Deploy: Transforming Developer Experience with Voice Commands](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1159-speak-code-deploy-transforming-developer-experience-with-voice-commands) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk) - [Fullstack Developer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/251-fullstack-developer-salary-uk) - [Best Companies to work for in London: Top 25 Companies in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/187-best-companies-to-work-for-in-london-top-25-companies-in-2023)
