Job Description
Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.
Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.
Help Shape the Future of Robotics
We are looking for paid participants to record videos of everyday home activities. These videos will be used to help robotics to learn how to perceive, understand and interact with real-world environments.
You will record yourself doing things you already do in your daily life, such as cleaning, laundry or cooking. If you’re detail-oriented, comfortable performing everyday physical tasks and excited to contribute to cutting-edge robotics research, we’d love to work with you!
What to Expect
This is a short-term, home-based research participation opportunity. Sessions will be structured and you will be expected to follow simple guidance instructions. No robotics or technical background is required.
Day In the Life
During your session, you will:
- Wear your phone on a head mount (this will be provided for you), or the provided Insta360 GO 3S, or Meta Quest headset.
- Film the assigned tasks in the worksheet
- Ensure successful recordings, before uploading the files to a cloud drive for submission
You are free to film as much task-specific, high quality and usable footage as you want, making this a great way to earn some extra income whilst completing your already day-to-day tasks.
Example Tasks
- Picking up, placing, and organizing objects
- Sorting items by size, color, or category
- Using simple tools (e.g., screwdriver, cloth, utensils)
- Cleaning or wiping surfaces
- Assembling or disassembling simple objects
- Reaching and placing objects at varying distances
Who You Are
What You Need:
- A smartphone with a wide camera (0.5x zoom), a computer + internet connection to upload videos
- Good lighting and a tidy space in your home
- Ability to follow detailed instructions carefully
- Comfort performing light physical tasks (standing, reaching, grasping objects)
- Ability to move naturally, slowly, and deliberately during recordings
- Reliability and punctuality for scheduled sessions
- Must be located in or nearby San Francisco or Menlo Park
Who Can Apply
We value participation from individuals of all backgrounds. All qualified participants will be considered regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age or veteran status.
Even if you’re unsure whether you meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply.
Compensation
This is a 1099 independent contractor role compensated at $14per hour of approved, usable video footage. Payment is based on approved deliverables. This role is not eligible for employee benefits or equity.
