About the role

Models are surprisingly bad at reasoning about themselves: training dynamics, evaluation design, data pipelines, and deployment trade-offs. Plausible-sounding ML advice is often subtly wrong. As a Machine Learning Engineer you'll stress-test how models reason about ML systems and write the answers a strong practitioner would give, shaping how the next generation handles your field. What you’ll actually doWrite promptsthat probe how models reason about training, evaluation, debugging, and productionizing ML systems. Review AI outputfor subtle errors: leaky evaluations, wrong loss formulations, and misdiagnosed training failures. Write the correct solutionwhen the model falls short, grounded in real practitioner experience. What we look forHands-on experience training, evaluating, or deploying models professionally or in serious personal work. Comfort with the modern ML stack; most tasks assume Python and PyTorch or JAX. Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal. No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it. CompensationUp to $150+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $100k–$200k a year; some make it their full-time income. About DataAnnotationDataAnnotation is where 1M+ experts train the world’s leading AI models. Hundreds of millions paid to contributors to date, and the average contributor stays 5+ years. Flexible, remote, and always project-available.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
