How much do these roles pay?
Listed rates on this page run from $25 to $300 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?
Real experience in the language or stack named in the role. Expect a coding assessment before your first project.
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.
