Working closely with Akara’s AI and operations teams, as well as external clinical partners, you will review, interpret, and annotate operating room data from a variety of sources, including video footage, system-generated data streams, graphical plots, and clinical records. You will identify relevant clinical and operational events, assess the accuracy of system-generated outputs, and ensure that annotated data consistently meets clearly defined quality standards.

The role will initially focus on hands-on data annotation, validation, and quality assurance. As Akara’s annotation function grows, you will have the opportunity to take on broader responsibilities in process improvement, training, workflow coordination, and quality management, with the potential to progress into a team leadership position.

This role is well suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving practical problems, and working in a fast-moving environment where their contribution will have a clear and visible impact.

Key Responsibilities:

Review and annotate operating room data, including video, sensor outputs, graphical plots, and clinical records
Identify relevant clinical and operational events using established annotation guidelines
Review system-generated data and flag errors, inconsistencies, or uncertain cases
Perform quality checks to ensure annotations are accurate, complete, and consistent
Compare information across multiple data sources to resolve discrepancies
Maintain clear and accurate records of completed annotation work
Follow data handling, privacy, and information security procedures
Escalate ambiguous or complex cases for further review
Contribute feedback on annotation guidelines, tools, and quality assurance processes
Support the development of more efficient and scalable annotation workflows
As the team grows, assist with training, mentoring, and coordinating other annotators

What Success Looks Like:

During your first 12 months, you will:

Consistently produce accurate and reliable annotations
Meet agreed productivity and quality targets
Develop a strong understanding of Akara’s annotation standards and operating room workflows
Identify recurring data quality issues and contribute to their resolution

Support the onboarding and training of new annotation team members

Key Requirements:

Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to complete repetitive analytical tasks with a high degree of accuracy
Ability to follow detailed instructions, guidelines, and quality standards consistently
Ability to interpret visual information and identify patterns or discrepancies across multiple data sources
Strong computer literacy and proficiency with standard software applications

About Akara:

Akara is a spin-out from Trinity College that helps hospitals perform more procedures and reduce infections through faster and more efficient room decontamination, powered by cutting-edge robotic automation and AI. This is important because patients that get infections spend three times longer in hospitals, and infections acquired in hospitals lead to four times more deaths than road traffic accidents.

Akara is currently supported by Enterprise Ireland through their high potential startups program (HPSU). To date they have raised €3M in funding, including a €2.5M grant from the European Innovation Council, Europe’s most prestigious deep-tech funding program. They are currently raising a €2.5M seed funding round.
