Data Labeling Analyst II

Background

The analyst will support the development and evaluation of AI and machine learning systems for visual product recognition and commerce experiences across Meta’s platforms. These products will help identify products appearing in images and video and connect them to structured data to enhance the user shopping experience. High-quality human-labeled data is the foundation of this work. It is used to build training sets, create evaluation benchmarks that measure model quality, and audit and improve the structure and accuracy of the model.

Scope of Work

The Data Labeling Analyst will:

• Annotate and classify multimodal content. Label images, video frames, and text to identify products, attributes (category, brand, color, material, style, model/variant), and product boundaries within visually complex scenes.
• Match content to sponsored ads. Determine whether a product shown in content is an exact match, a similar match, or a non-match to a candidate catalog item, and document the reasoning.
• Audit and improve catalog data quality. Review data labels for accuracy, completeness,duplication, mis-categorization, and low-quality attributes; flag and correct issues per guidelines.
• Support evaluation and benchmarking. Produce golden-set labels used to measure model performance, and participate in inter-annotator agreement exercises and calibration sessions.
• Handle ambiguous and edge cases. Apply judgment where guidelines do not give a clear answer, escalate genuine ambiguity, and propose guideline clarifications.
• Research and verify product information via web search. Independently research unfamiliar products, brands, variants, and attributes using Google and other web sources (brand sites, retailers, catalogs) to resolve ambiguity, confirm distinguishing attributes, and ground labeling decisions in verifiable evidence.
• Contribute to guideline development. Identify recurring gaps or contradictions in labeling instructions and help draft, test, and refine updated guidance and taxonomies.
• Maintain throughput and quality targets. Meet agreed volume, accuracy, and turnaround expectations; participate in QA review cycles and act on feedback.
• Adapt across workflows and projects. Onboard quickly onto new labeling tasks, tools, taxonomies,or domains, sometimes with short notice, and re-prioritize as program needs change.
