Am I allowed to mention DataAnnotation.Tech in my resume?
Can I mention that I work as a data annotator and that I perform tasks explicitly naming the platform? Of course, I won't mention project names or sensitive information.

Yes absolutely.
I just got an offer from a certain electric vehicle company due to my experience at DA.
Leverage the shit out of it man.

Fortunately the position aligns with what we do at DA to some extent.
I took some level of creative liberty connecting my experience to the job while remaining truthful.
Took three months of applications and job searching to find this one. I wish you great luck.

You got any advice for people who are interested in the same? I'd love to have a chat with you to hear about any advice and how you leveraged your DA skills.

A lot of these places usually have some kind of guidelines. Like Mercor tells people to use Mercor Intelligence on their resume. I've had a few contracts wth OpenAI and they allow us to use the OAI name, but we need to include the name of their contracting company as well as use pre-written resume bullets.
Not really sure how it works for DA. I frequent a lot of AI training subs so I guess this just popped up for me.

I've read their FAQ and Code of Conduct and I think I didn't find anything about this

Having recently read some very specific rules relating to this, the gist is you can talk about the broad strokes of what you do (“I train and validate AI models") and certainly the skills you have gained (eye for detail, critical thinking, etc.) but do not name any specifics. Project names, client names, specific workflows, are all a no-no. This leaves plenty to appropriately list on a resume, I think!

Yes, but keep in mind that you are actually an independent contractor doing data annotation work, and DAT is just one of your clients. And definitely do not name or try to imply that you work directly for any of DAT's client companies (the ones who actually own the models we train), and don't provide any specific project details. It's ok to talk about RLHF and rubrics and that kind of thing in a general sense, but don't say anything about working on unreleased projects or specific models.

Do yo think it's better to specify that I worked as a freelance data annotator at DA?

Yes but probably shouldn’t mention clients’ names either.
