AI Trainer - Writing Editor (Remote, Flexible)
Writers who enjoy precision and problem-solving will feel at home here. Outlier, operated by Scale AI, is hiring English speakers to help train and refine AI models by writing prompts, evaluating outputs, and explaining your decisions.
Pay is up to $15/hour USD with performance bonuses. Work is 100% remote, freelance, and you choose your hours.
What You'll Do
- Adopt a user mindset to create natural, real-world prompts and tasks you'd actually use.
- Review and rank AI responses from large language models, selecting the best and explaining why.
- Contribute across different projects based on your skills and experience.
What They're Looking For
- Analytical thinking: Build complex, professional prompts and evaluate nuanced reasoning.
- Strong writing: Clear, concise, and engaging explanations and critiques.
- Attention to detail: Accuracy in judging content quality and technical correctness.
- Nice to have: Background in literature, creative writing, history, philosophy, theology, or prior editorial roles (content strategist, technical writer, editor). Interest in AI, ML, or creative tech tools.
Why This Fits Writers
You already think in structure, tone, and intent. That translates directly into effective prompts and crisp evaluations.
Each task is like an editorial pass with scoring: assess clarity, relevance, accuracy, and explain the edits you'd make if this were going live. Your ability to justify choices is the edge.
Pay & Logistics
- Base rate: Up to $15/hour USD, depending on experience.
- Bonuses: Additional pay based on project performance.
- Type: Freelance/1099 contract. This is not an internship.
- Location: 100% remote. Listing shows Staffordshire.
- Schedule: Flexible hours - you decide when and how much you work.
- Payouts: Weekly via their platform.
- Eligibility: You must be authorized to work in your country of residence. No sponsorship is provided.
- Students/visas: International students may be able to sign up depending on visa status. Consult your tax/immigration advisor for specifics.
