In this position, your software engineering expertise will help shape how advanced AI systems learn to solve real-world programming problems.
AI training is the human work behind modern artificial intelligence. Experts create examples, assess model outputs, and provide high-quality feedback so AI systems can reason more accurately and perform useful tasks.
For this project, you will contribute software engineering scenarios, reference solutions, evaluations, and technical reasoning that help models improve at coding, debugging, feature development, refactoring, and performance optimization.
OpenTrain AI is seeking an expert Senior Software Engineer for a remote contractor engagement of approximately 15 hours per week. You will create reinforcement learning environments that test an AI model's ability to solve complex software engineering problems.
Each environment must be reproducible and include a golden reference solution. Your work will cover code fixes, feature implementation, codebase refactoring, and performance optimization across supported programming languages.
You will produce technically rigorous training contributions and explain the reasoning behind your solutions. You will also review peer submissions to help maintain the accuracy, clarity, and usefulness of the resulting AI training data.
You should have significant hands-on expertise in at least one of the listed programming languages, along with strong software engineering fundamentals. The project specifically seeks expertise in computer code programming labeling workflows and AI systems training.
Fluent English proficiency is required. Previous AI experience is not required, but interest in or curiosity about AI and its technical challenges is valuable.
Compensation is output-based, with experts paid per task that meets project specifications. The time required may vary based on experience and workflow. Minimum submission requirements apply, including a minimum number of tasks per week.
The listed compensation range is USD $50 to $100 per hour, with a listed hourly rate of $50. The expected commitment is less than 20 hours per week, and the project is expected to run for 6 or more months.
Create a free OpenTrain account and apply with your software engineering background, language expertise, and relevant AI training experience. If selected, complete onboarding and be prepared to start your first tasks within the stated availability window.
OpenTrain helps people start and grow careers in the fast-growing AI training industry, where skilled contributors directly influence how state-of-the-art models are built and evaluated.
