• Contribute to cutting-edge AI development
• Apply practical technical expertise to model training data
• Work remotely with a flexible part-time schedule
• Produce precise explanations and evaluations

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking an Operating Systems Subject Matter Expert based in India with C1-level English proficiency. You will contribute to AI training dataset development by documenting, explaining, and refining tasks related to traditional Operating Systems management.

Your expertise will support datasets covering core Operating Systems concepts, troubleshooting workflows, scripting tasks, and real-world technical scenarios. You will also review, clarify, and document corrections to ensure training data is clear, accurate, and technically precise.

• Role type: Part-time contractor
• Experience level listed for the project: Entry level
• Required professional experience: 7+ years managing and configuring Operating Systems
• Workload: Less than 20 hours per week
• Location: India
• Language: English at C1 level
• Rate: $25 USD per hour

What You’ll Do

You will use hands-on knowledge of Windows, Linux, or Unix environments to help create reliable technical training material. The work requires both technical depth and the ability to explain decisions clearly for accurate AI model evaluation.

• Document Operating Systems management concepts and procedures
• Explain and refine troubleshooting workflows
• Create high-quality datasets involving scripting and system administration tasks
• Review technical training data for clarity, accuracy, and precision
• Identify and document corrections to existing material
• Address scenarios involving system performance, security, configuration, and optimization
• Evaluate complex technical problems and explain solutions effectively

Required Expertise

Applicants should have a strong foundation in traditional Operating Systems principles and substantial professional experience managing and configuring Windows, Linux, or Unix systems. Strong documentation skills, analytical thinking, and attention to detail are essential.

• 7+ years of professional Operating Systems management and configuration experience
• Experience with OS troubleshooting, configuration, and real-world optimization tasks
• In-depth knowledge of system processes, kernel management, and resource allocation
• Proficiency with Bash, PowerShell, Python, or comparable scripting languages
• Experience with VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, or similar virtualization technologies
• Familiarity with htop, ps, top, Task Manager, or comparable performance monitoring tools
• Understanding of OS-level security practices and patch management
• Strong analytical skills and precise technical communication
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Location in India and C1-level English proficiency

Technical Interview and Skill Assessment

At the start of the interview, candidates will be told that a technical or skill test and a live interview are required for consideration. Candidates must answer honestly and represent their experience accurately. Dishonesty during the interview will result in a permanent ban from the OpenTrain AI platform.

The interview will collect the candidate’s highest level of education, total years of experience managing and configuring Operating Systems, and exact weekly availability. Availability must be stated as a specific number or defined range of hours, not an open-ended estimate.

• Explain how you would diagnose and resolve high CPU usage and unresponsive services on a Linux server
• Write a Bash or PowerShell script that monitors server disk usage and alerts when usage exceeds 90%
• Describe how you would secure a newly installed Windows Server before production deployment
• Discuss your experience with OS troubleshooting, configurations, and optimization
• Provide your highest education level
• State your total years managing and configuring Operating Systems
• State the exact number of hours per week you can commit if hired

How the Technical Work Helps AI
