About AI Training Work
AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Experts create examples, documents, evaluations, and feedback that help modern AI models learn from real-world professional practice.
In this project, your data engineering knowledge will support tasks and rubrics used to train and evaluate frontier AI models. The work offers a direct opportunity to apply production experience to cutting-edge AI development.
The Role
OpenTrain AI is seeking a UK-based data engineering specialist for a short, intensive remote contract. You will create professional documents and technical deliverables based on real-world data engineering practice.
Assignments will cover production data pipelines, data platforms, analytics engineering, and technical delivery. Some work will involve documenting practical data engineering processes, while other assignments will focus on hands-on delivery and explaining how data systems operate.
Role: Data Engineering AI Training Expert
Location: United Kingdom
Work arrangement: Remote contract
Contract period: September 14 through October 10, 2026
Schedule: 40 hours per week, aligned with UK business hours
Pay: $140-$200 per hour
