Read from 13 live Portuguese listings on this board, 8 with a published rate. Updated 29 September 2026. Full pay dataset.

What the work involves
From the listings themselves:
- About Turing: Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems.
- Role Overview: We are seeking Portuguese-speaking photographers and annotators to create evaluation materials using cropped, occluded, or degraded images of authentic real-world places, products, and media.
- These images should require multimodal agents to conduct multi-step web research using tools such as Google Search, Google Lens, or reverse image search before accurately generating or restoring missing content.
- Annotators will source real, verifiably licensed photographs, obscure key identifying details, and prepare a complete deliverable package, including prompts, grading rubrics, and solution notes, for each instance.
