The T&S Network estimates this role to be S2, Agent / Moderator. Key skills at this level: reads queue health from the metrics and knows which ones lie, balances accuracy, throughput and wellbeing as one problem, and runs a shift against demand that spikes without warning.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: the posting states the level in its title · the title reads as S2 · posts $135k to $156k base.
The role, in T&S terms
Written by the T&S Network from Toloka's posting.
Onsite moderation for AI training data collection, where moderators guide participants through in-person sessions run on iOS devices and a laptop terminal. The posting describes this as a data collection role for Toloka's GenAI work rather than a content or abuse moderation role, and it sits in a team that runs scheduled participant sessions in NYC.
What you'd do
- Welcome participants, confirm check-ins, and explain session instructions in English.
- Set up iOS devices for each session, including switching language and region settings.
- Troubleshoot basic device issues during sessions.
- Run provided scripts from a terminal by following a step-by-step guide.
- Confirm each session completed successfully and keep participants on task and on schedule.
What it asks for
- Fluent English with clear, professional communication.
- Customer service, hospitality, front-desk, or other participant-facing experience.
- Comfort navigating iPhones or iPads, including settings, apps, and basic troubleshooting.
- Can open a terminal and execute commands or scripts from written steps; training covers it, no coding background needed.
- Strong attention to detail and reliability with scheduled sessions.
- Familiarity with macOS (preferred)
- Background in user research, usability testing, data gathering, or consumer studies (preferred)
Worth knowing
- Weekend availability required with rotating shifts, six-day site operation.
- Temporary self-employed contractor engagement via Ontop, month-to-month.
