OpenTrain AI is the hiring and contracting organization for this role. OpenTrain is the #1 platform for finding and building careers in AI training and data labeling, helping contributors discover projects, build a professional profile, and grow in a rapidly developing industry.
Creating an OpenTrain account is free, and this opportunity is available worldwide for contractors who can work in English.
AI training is the human side of building modern artificial intelligence. Developers and subject-matter experts help improve AI systems by testing model outputs, documenting failures, and providing clear feedback that guides future performance.
In this role, your backend engineering experience will support the evaluation of AI-powered coding tools through realistic development workflows and structured technical feedback.
OpenTrain AI is seeking a Python Backend Developer to contribute to backend API development and AI model testing. You will work with REST and GraphQL services, data validation, database migrations, schema changes, security practices, and performance improvements.
The role includes focused four-day intensive testing bursts tied to real coding workflows. Contractors are expected to contribute 20 or more hours per week and provide detailed observations throughout the testing process.
You will combine hands-on Python backend development with structured evaluation of AI coding models in Cursor. Clear technical communication is central to the work: your reports and feedback will help identify issues and improve both model performance and the developer experience.
This opportunity is listed at the entry level, while the work requires strong practical Python backend development skills and hands-on experience with modern APIs and databases. Applicants should be able to demonstrate their development experience through public work.
This role may suit a Python developer who enjoys investigating technical issues, improving backend systems, and examining how AI coding tools behave in practical development scenarios. Strong written documentation and careful attention to detail are important for producing useful model feedback.
The work is remote and part time, making it suitable for contributors seeking flexible participation while applying their software engineering skills to cutting-edge AI training.
AI training projects rely on human expertise to prepare examples, evaluate outputs, and explain where an AI system succeeds or falls short. Contributors who provide precise, actionable feedback play a direct role in improving how these systems work.
To pursue this opportunity, create a free OpenTrain account and build a profile that reflects your Python development experience, public work, and relevant AI-tool familiarity.
