Job description

Join the DataAnnotation team and contribute to developing cutting-edge AI systems, while enjoying the flexibility of remote work and setting your own schedule.

We are looking for a proficient Coder (part-time work from home) to help advance AI development. As a member of DataAnnotation’s coding team, you’ll be part of a growing community of over 100,000 professionals — including front-end, back-end, full-stack, machine learning, and other engineers — who are driving real-world impact in AI development.

Our platform offers an engaging blend of flexibility and challenge: you’ll work closely with state-of-the-art AI models to take on programming tasks that include creating and solving challenging coding problems, building beautiful apps with rich functionality, and synthesizing insights through data analysis and visualization. Your work directly contributes to refining intelligent systems that learn, adapt, and evolve. Some team members fit this work alongside a full-time role, while others treat it as their primary focus, choosing projects and schedules that align with their availability and goals.

To get started, once you sign up for an account, you'll take a short assessment (this serves as our version of an interview). If you pass that assessment, you’ll receive an email confirmation, and paid work will become available to you through our platform.

Benefits:

  • This is a full-time or part-time REMOTE position
  • You’ll be able to choose which projects you want to work on
  • You can work on your own schedule
  • Projects are paid hourly starting at $50-75+/hr, with bonuses on high-quality and high-volume work

Responsibilities:

  • Give AI chatbots coding challenges and evaluate their outputs
  • Evaluate the quality produced by AI models for correctness and performance

Qualifications:

  • Fluency in English (native or bilingual level)
  • Detail-oriented
  • Experience with algorithms, data structures, and debugging workflows
  • A current, in progress, or completed Bachelor's is preferred but not required

Note: Payment is made via PayPal. We will never ask for any money from you. PayPal will handle any currency conversions from USD. This job is only available to those in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Those located outside of these countries will not see work or assessments available on our site at this time.
