The job description

About the Role

We're looking for writers with a strong visual sensibility to help teach AI how to see and interpret film. As a Visual Storytelling Prompt Writer at Alignerr, you'll watch video clips and translate what you see — the camera angles, the mood, the narrative tension — into precise, expressive prompts that AI models use to understand and recreate cinematic scenes.

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of filmmaking craft and cutting-edge AI development. Your words will directly shape how the next generation of AI models perceives and describes the visual world.

What You'll Do

Watch video clips and write structured prompts that capture the full visual story
Describe characters, settings, camera perspectives, lighting, and emotional tone with clarity and precision
Balance technical cinematographic detail with narrative and emotional context
Produce multiple prompt variants for the same scene when required
Follow style guides for wording, specificity, and point of view
Suggest alternative phrasings and articulate how subtle word choices shift interpretation
Maintain a consistent, high-quality writing voice across large batches of clips

Who You Are

Must-Have:

Strong writing skills with a clear emphasis on visual description and clarity
Solid understanding of film language — shot types, story structure, pacing, and camera fundamentals
Ability to convey what's happening on screen without relying on dialogue or script
Comfortable following detailed prompt-writing guidelines and adapting to examples
Self-motivated and able to deliver consistent quality independently

Nice to Have:

Experience writing prompts for generative AI tools (image, video, or other)
Background in creative writing, screenwriting, film studies, or storyboarding
Familiarity with cinematography terminology and visual grammar

Why Join Us

Work on pioneering AI projects with leading AI research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where you want
Apply your creative and cinematic expertise to meaningful, future-shaping work
Freelance autonomy with the backing of an established AI training organization
Potential for ongoing work and long-term contract extension
Be part of a global community of creative and technical contributors
