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 people discover projects, build a professional profile, and grow their experience in a fast-moving field.
Creating an OpenTrain account is free. Your profile can help you present credible AI training experience, discover work aligned with your skills, and develop a long-term portfolio.
AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. People create examples, evaluate model behavior, and provide structured feedback that helps modern systems become more capable, reliable, and useful.
In this role, your software engineering expertise will help evaluate whether AI models can reason through realistic development, debugging, DevOps, and command-line workflows.
OpenTrain AI is recruiting a Software Engineering RL Environment Creator to design reproducible reinforcement learning environments for complex engineering tasks. You will turn realistic technical workflows into structured evaluations with clear inputs, expected behavior, and dependable golden reference solutions.
The work may involve Git, Docker, GDB, AddressSanitizer, FFmpeg, and related developer utilities. You will apply sound engineering judgment to make each environment technically meaningful, maintainable, and repeatable.
You will create software engineering workflows that test an AI model’s ability to solve realistic technical problems. Your work will span development and evaluation, from designing the task environment through producing a reliable reference solution against which model-generated approaches can be assessed.
This role is listed at the entry level, while requiring strong software engineering capability in the areas below. You must be proficient in at least one supported programming language and able to design, debug, and document complex engineering workflows.
The following experience is helpful but not required. It may be especially valuable when creating environments that represent complex production engineering challenges.
AI training and data-labeling work is a rapidly growing part of the technology industry, and contributors directly influence how advanced AI systems behave. OpenTrain brings opportunities and professional growth tools together so you can build experience without starting from scratch for every project.
This flexible, remote engagement can fit around other commitments while giving you the opportunity to apply advanced software engineering skills to cutting-edge AI model evaluation.
