Cantonese Creative Writer for LLM Training (Remote)

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for finding and building careers in AI training and data labeling. We connect people who want flexible, remote work with projects that teach AI systems — from writing and annotation to conversational evaluation.

This role is posted through the OpenTrain network and is part of the fast-growing AI training industry where contributors shape how models understand and use language.

Why AI Training Work Matters

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback) is the human side of building modern AI. People prepare examples and craft responses that help LLMs learn to speak naturally and reliably.

These projects are remote and flexible, often suitable as part-time work. Contributors gain hands-on experience at the cutting edge of language technology and directly influence real chatbot behavior.

The Role — What This Job Is

We are hiring a Cantonese Creative Writer on a remote contract basis to generate and refine dialogue used to train AI chatbots. You will write authentic, culturally relevant Cantonese responses from prompts and improve AI-generated texts for clarity, tone, and accuracy.

Work is part-time contractor work. Pay is USD 19 per hour. Candidates should be available for a minimum of 10 hours per week, with a preferred commitment of 20+ hours per week. This role is open worldwide and is completed remotely.
