About AI Training and Model Evaluation

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors write examples, evaluate model outputs, and provide feedback that helps advanced systems improve their reasoning, accuracy, and usefulness.

In this role, your humanities expertise will support text-based model evaluation and generation. You will help assess whether AI can interpret context, construct sound arguments, and respond with nuanced analytical reasoning rather than relying on surface-level factual recall.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking a Humanities AI Evaluation Specialist to create and refine high-difficulty question-and-answer content for training and evaluating advanced AI systems. The work centers on prompts involving interpretation, argument, context, and analytical reasoning.

This is a remote, part-time contractor opportunity with flexible task-based work and minimum weekly submission requirements. The role is categorized as entry level, while requiring advanced academic or professional experience in a humanities discipline.

• Remote work available worldwide
• Part-time contractor engagement
• Minimum commitment of 20 hours per week
• Flexible task-based schedule
• Compensation of $40-$90 per hour, based on accepted output

What You’ll Do

You will independently produce precise, well-supported submissions that meet project guidelines and quality standards. Questions should be demanding, unambiguous, and designed to reveal the depth of an AI system’s interpretation and reasoning.

You will also test questions against AI models, revise them based on observed performance, and incorporate thoughtful reviewer feedback while preserving correctness and analytical rigor.

• Develop original, challenging question-and-answer pairs across humanities topics
• Design prompts that require deep analytical or interpretive insight
• Test questions against AI models
• Refine prompts for difficulty, clarity, and correctness
• Evaluate arguments, context, interpretation, and reasoning beyond factual recall
• Apply reviewer feedback and follow project requirements
• Submit clear, carefully written work independently

Requirements

You should bring advanced academic or professional expertise in a humanities discipline and the ability to turn that expertise into rigorous evaluation content. Experience with AI model evaluation or training is helpful, but it is not required.

The work is conducted in English and requires strong judgment when assessing whether questions and responses are clear, difficult, well-supported, and correct.

• Advanced academic or professional expertise in history, literature, philosophy, linguistics, classics, art history, journalism, or a related humanities discipline
• Strong close-reading and analytical writing skills
• Ability to formulate difficult questions about interpretation, argument, context, and analytical reasoning
• Ability to test and refine AI prompts for clarity, difficulty, and correctness
• Strong independent judgment and attention to quality standards
• English-language proficiency

Compensation and Schedule

This role pays $40-$90 per hour for tasks that meet the project specifications. Compensation is output-based, and the time required may vary depending on the task and your experience.

The expected time commitment is 20 or more hours per week. You can complete flexible task-based work remotely while meeting the project’s minimum weekly submission requirements.

• Pay range: $40-$90 per hour
• Payment is based on accepted task output
• Minimum time requirement: 20+ hours per week
• Work arrangement: Remote contractor
