Associate at Digital Divide Data – Digital Divide Data Kenya Job Details

About the Role

Digital Divide Data is recruiting an Associate to join its autonomous vehicle data quality team in Kenya. This full-time position focuses on reviewing and validating annotation outputs for self-driving car datasets, ensuring they meet strict production standards. The role sits at the core of machine learning data preparation—where precision directly impacts model performance and safety systems.

You’ll work with complex driving scenarios that require sharp attention to detail and sound judgment. The Associate at Digital Divide Data position involves both technical review work and collaboration with annotators and project stakeholders to maintain consistent quality across all deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

• Review annotation outputs from autonomous vehicle datasets to verify quality, consistency, and adherence to established project guidelines.
• Interpret complex driving scenes containing multiple vehicles, pedestrians, objects, and environmental factors to assess annotation accuracy.
• Evaluate agent actions, behavioral intent, object relationships, spatial positioning, and task sequences within recorded traffic scenarios.
• Support Vision-Language Action workflows by validating vision-language alignment, action grounding, temporal sequence understanding, and scene context interpretation.
• Identify and resolve ambiguous scenarios and edge cases using structured judgment and detailed guideline interpretation.
• Maintain consistent application of annotation standards across all production review assignments.
• Attend calibration sessions, participate in quality assurance discussions, and engage in feedback cycles to drive continuous quality improvement.
• Communicate clear, detailed, and actionable feedback to annotators and project leads regarding quality gaps and required corrections.
• Flag unclear guidelines, tool-related issues, or persistent quality problems to project management for resolution.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in autonomous vehicle data annotation or related machine learning data validation roles.
• Minimum 1 year of direct experience with Vision-Language Action projects or similar multimodal AI annotation work.
• Demonstrated experience with complex scene understanding tasks, including object interaction assessment, agent behavior analysis, spatial reasoning, action prediction, intent interpretation, and task-sequence evaluation.
• Proven track record working in production review workflows, interpreting annotation guidelines, and handling edge-case scenarios in quality-critical environments.
• Strong ability to apply systematic quality standards consistently and identify deviations from project specifications.
• Competence in written and verbal communication for delivering structured feedback and escalating issues appropriately.

What to Expect

• Work in a focused quality assurance environment where accuracy directly supports autonomous vehicle development and safety testing.
• Collaborate regularly with annotators, QA teams, and project leads through structured feedback and calibration sessions.
• Use specialized annotation tools and guideline documentation in a production setting that values consistency and attention to detail.
