About AI Training Work

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback work) is the human side of building artificial intelligence: people create and validate the examples models learn from. This project focuses on improving how AI writes and understands TypeScript by providing curated, high-quality code examples and corrections.

  • This work is 100% remote and often flexible, making it a great fit for part-time or schedule-friendly work.
  • No extra platforms or onsite attendance are required — you’ll contribute from your own workspace.

The Role

We are looking for experienced TypeScript developers to join an ongoing LLM/AI training effort. The contract is long-term (6+ months) with a typical weekly commitment of 20–40 hours. You will set your own hours within that range.

Compensation is hourly at USD 7.25 per hour. This is a contractor, part-time position. After you submit a proposal you will receive a TypeScript coding assessment to complete as part of the selection process.

What You'll Do

  • Write short TypeScript programs and code snippets in response to specific prompts used for model training.
  • Debug and correct AI-generated TypeScript code so examples are accurate and reliable.
  • Refine and optimize TypeScript solutions for clarity, correctness, and best practices.
  • Create labeled training data and documentation that help models learn expected behaviors and outputs.
  • Follow task instructions precisely to ensure consistent, high-quality datasets.

Requirements

You must preserve the following qualifications exactly as stated.

  • At least 2 years of professional experience in software development with a strong focus on TypeScript.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven ability to develop, troubleshoot, and optimize TypeScript code.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective English communication.
  • Ability to work well in a remote team environment, with stable internet and reliable electricity.
  • Availability to commit 20–40 hours per week for a duration of at least 6 months.
  • Note: Candidates with less than 2 years of TypeScript experience will receive a low Qualification Score (below 7) during evaluation.

How It Works / Application

Submit your proposal through your OpenTrain profile. After submission you will be sent a TypeScript coding assessment — completing that assessment is required to advance in the process.

If selected, you’ll receive task assignments and access to the annotation instructions needed to produce dataset items. You’ll track hours and deliverables as a contractor and coordinate with the project team remotely.

  • Flexible scheduling within the 20–40 hour weekly commitment.
  • Work remotely from anywhere; ensure reliable internet and power.

Who Should Apply

Apply if you are a TypeScript-focused developer who enjoys writing clear, correct code and helping AI systems learn from high-quality examples. This role is best for people who can balance independent remote work with disciplined attention to detail and task instructions.

This position is marked as entry level in system metadata, but the required experience and degree make it best suited for developers with at least two years of professional TypeScript work.
