$60 - $120 per hour
Temporary

micro1

Developers with a public record of real open-source work write, solve and review hard technical tasks used to train AI systems, across software, machine learning, science, hardware or engineering. Each task comes with a reproducible environment, a reference solution and tests. The contract is fully remote and global, with a flexible schedule of 15+ hours a week. Pay is per accepted task, at an hourly equivalent the listing puts at $60 to $120.

What you would do

  • Create realistic technical tasks drawn from professional, scientific or engineering workflows
  • Build reproducible task environments with reference solutions, tests and objective scoring criteria
  • Check whether AI-generated work is correct, complete and technically sound
  • Diagnose model failures and explain why an approach or result is wrong

What the listing asks for

  • Strong programming ability, with practical Python skills
  • Meaningful open-source contributions or substantial original public projects that can be verified
  • Experience in at least one listed area, such as software, ML, scientific computing, hardware or engineering
  • Preferred: experience designing tests, benchmarks or reproducible environments, or reviewing others' code
  • Preferred: publications, competition results or public technical writing

Suits maintainers and regular contributors whose merged work is public and who enjoy designing rigorous, testable technical problems.

Listed pay: $60 to $120 per hour equivalent, paid per accepted task. Where: Remote, worldwide. Time: 15+ hours a week, flexible. Contract work for micro1, a company that hires experts for AI training projects.

Applications go through micro1's own site. AI Trainer Guide is an independent guide to AI training work, not micro1 or its recruiter. The apply link on our page is a referral link: micro1 may pay us if it hires you, at no cost to you.
