[Hiring] Clinical Video Annotator (Physical Therapist) @Sword Health

Role Description

Sword's AI models need to understand exercise quality the way a physical therapist does – not just whether a movement happened, but whether it was performed correctly, safely, and with adequate range of motion. Teaching an AI that requires human clinical judgment at scale.

Your role is to watch recorded exercise sessions and provide structured clinical assessments that become the ground truth to evaluate and train our AI. This is high-volume, repetitive work – you will assess many videos per day using consistent criteria. Quality and consistency across high volume is what makes the data valuable.

The Data & Tooling team produces the labeled datasets that power Sword's AI models. We build the training and evaluation data foundation that enables our AI to reason about human movement with clinical accuracy.

• Watching exercise session recordings and scoring movement quality using Sword's clinical assessment framework – covering injury risk, movement effectiveness, range of motion, technique, and overall execution.
• Providing rep-level assessments, session-level summaries, and structured written feedback.
• Reviewing and quality-checking assessments produced by other annotators on the team.
• Flagging ambiguous cases, unusual presentations, and content quality issues.
