## Job description

## About Obvio AI

Each year, more than 40,000 people in the U.S. leave home and never make it back due to traffic crashes. At Obvio, we believe these deaths are preventable. We deploy solar-powered, AI-assisted cameras to enforce traffic laws where pedestrians are most vulnerable—automating enforcement in ways that traditional systems cannot. Our approach has already led to a 50% reduction in reckless driving in early partner cities. Founded by the team behind Motive's AI dashcam and backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Khosla Ventures, we are building the intelligence layer for safer streets globally.

About the Role: This role is not a typical data entry position. We are looking for candidates who can critically analyze video footage, accurately identify traffic incidents, and provide actionable data. Your insights will directly contribute to enhancing our AI tools and improving public safety.

## What You’ll Do

- Video Analysis: Carefully review and annotate video footage to identify traffic events and potential violations.
- Data Verification: Accurately record and confirm detailed violation data extracted from video content.
- Confidentiality: Uphold strict data privacy and confidentiality protocols in line with company guidelines.
- Continuous Improvement: Provide constructive feedback to refine our data annotation tools and processes.
- Collaboration: Actively participate in team meetings and training sessions to maintain high-quality standards.

## What We’re Looking For

- Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; additional education or technical training is a plus.
- Experience: Prior experience in data review, video analysis, or a related field is highly valued.
- Attention to Detail: Exceptional precision and the ability to spot subtle discrepancies in complex data sets.
- Tech-Savvy: Quick to learn and adept with new tools and technologies.
- Work Ethic: Demonstrated ability to work independently while effectively collaborating within a team.
- Time Management: Proven capacity to manage time efficiently and meet strict deadlines.

Job Details

- Employment Type: Full-time, hourly, benefits eligible
- Compensation: $22-$24 per hour
- Expected Hours: 40 + overtime as needed
- Location: On-site in Salt Lake City, UT

## Why Obvio

- Your work will help save lives and improve road safety
- Series A of $22M led by Bain Capital
- Fast-moving startup environment with meaningful ownership
- Competitive compensation and early-stage equity
