Product Manager at Yandex Crowd

Yandex Crowd is a service that solves business tasks for Yandex's products and B2B clients using tens of thousands of remote performers. We seamlessly integrate into our customers' processes at stages where human involvement is necessary. Data labeling for machine learning, ad moderation, testing of Yandex products, updating directories, user support — all of this, and more, falls within the scope of Yandex Crowd's tasks.

Our performers help Yandex create products capable of understanding complex, unpredictable, and ambiguous user queries and finding the right answers. We launched the crowdsourcing platform Yandex Tasks, participated in the launch of YandexGPT, the launch of Search in the Kazakhstan market, teaching Alice Arabic and even whispering — and in many other Yandex projects.
