Remote data annotation & AI training jobs: 31 open roles (Sep 2026)

The median posted rate is $40/hr, measured on 26 of the 31 live data annotation and AI training postings that publish an hourly USD rate. Measured September 2026.

Data annotation jobs can be checked. Level tracks 38 live annotation and AI training postings, led by xAI (27) and Cohere (4). Check that the employer is named with its own careers site, the posting states a pay rate (median $35 to $45 an hour on 27 postings), and nothing is paid to apply. Measured September 2026.

An AI trainer writes, rates, or labels the examples a model learns from. 38 live postings describe that work under annotation, labeling, rater, or trainer titles; 36 are remote and 3 are rated Level 1 or 2. The biggest poster is xAI with 27 openings. Measured September 2026.

30 of 31 live data annotation and AI training jobs are remote, a 96.8% share. Across every category, 14,750 of 26,592 live jobs are remote (55.5%), so data annotation runs above the site average. Remote status is read from the posting's own location field, never inferred from the company. Measured September 2026.

1 of 31 live data annotation and AI training jobs are tagged intern or junior, and 2 are rated Level 1, where AI is a tool rather than the job itself. Seniority is read from the title and the posting text; 2,565 of 26,592 postings across the site do not state it, so these counts are floors. Measured September 2026.
