About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors create, review, and refine examples that help AI systems learn how to understand and generate useful visual content.

This role brings digital art and 3D modeling expertise into a fast-growing field. It offers remote work that can fit around other commitments while contributing creative judgment to the development of AI systems.

The Role

OpenTrain is recruiting a Stylized 3D Digital Artist for a remote, 12-week contract project. You will create high-quality stylized models and digital assets from briefs and references for AI training and model-development work.

The project supports schedules of up to 40 hours per week. Part-time artists working about 20 hours per week are welcome. Compensation is approximately $7 USD per hour.
