How much do these roles pay?
Listed rates on this page run from $8 to $350 an hour. Rates vary by project and location, and the platform shows you the current rate before you accept work. Work comes in projects, so some weeks are busier than others.
What do I need to apply?
For research roles, usually a master's or PhD in ML or a related field. Annotation roles mainly need care and consistency.
Do I need AI experience?
No. The platforms train you on their own guidelines. They're looking for your expertise and careful judgment, not a background in AI.
Is this a job with benefits?
No. These are independent contractor roles, paid by the platform. You choose your hours, and you're responsible for your own taxes.
