Before you apply

Most roles start with a coding assessment or a paid trial task, and many ask for a GitHub profile or years of professional experience in the language they name. If you are employed as an engineer, check your contract's outside-work and IP clauses first, and never use your employer's code or credentials in a task. A legitimate platform never charges you to apply.

What does a software engineer do in AI training?

You review and rank the code a model writes, write coding tasks with the tests a correct answer has to pass, fix its failed attempts in real repositories, and audit the step-by-step traces of coding agents. It is remote, hourly contract work, and the hours depend on the project.

Which programming languages are in demand?

Most roles name the stack they want, and the lists on this page group them: Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, and the other languages (Java, C++, Go, Rust, Swift, Kotlin and more). The programming languages report counts which languages the open roles ask for, from the same daily data.

Can I do this alongside a full-time engineering job?

Most projects are part time and flexible, and most start with a coding assessment or a paid trial task. If you are employed, check your contract's outside-work and IP clauses first, and never use your employer's code or credentials in a task.

Are these jobs legitimate?

They are posted by established AI data platforms (SuperAnnotate (SME), Alignerr, Invisible and Anyone AI among them), and each platform's page here covers whether it is legit, how it vets people and how it pays. A legitimate platform never charges you to apply or to get work.
