More about the Software Engineering: AI Training Specialist role at Hatch AI Join our talent network for software engineers to get matched with flexible, well-paid AI training work. Summary We're looking for people with real software engineering experience, whether that's backend, frontend, full-stack, mobile, data, DevOps, or a closely related discipline, to help train the next generation of AI. The work is fully remote, flexible, and pays $40 to $100 per hour, with no minimum commitment.
You'll use your engineering expertise to design rigorous problems and evaluate AI-generated code and reasoning for correctness, helping AI better understand how software is actually built. No prior AI or machine learning experience is required.

- Apply through Hatch to join the talent network.
- Complete an assessment so we can understand your background and skills.
- Get accepted into the Hatch AI program if successful.
- Get matched: when a suitable opportunity comes up, you're placed into a cohort and matched to a project.
