Overview

Remote contract role supporting AI data training projects through structured, detail-heavy tasks on your own Ubuntu and Linux setup. You'll install required tools on Ubuntu and document your steps as you contribute to data annotation for model training. This position is ideal for students or junior tech enthusiasts who can commit about 15 hours weekly and work independently. Prior AI experience is not required, but a careful, methodical approach helps you succeed.

What You'll Do8

  • Follow precise guidelines and apply them accurately within Ubuntu and Linux environments.
  • Install and configure the required tools on a Ubuntu or Linux machine.
  • Review completed work for errors before submission.
  • Flag inconsistencies or unclear instructions to keep tasks aligned.
  • Maintain focus through repetitive, detail-heavy labeling tasks.
  • Complete assigned work within the weekly time commitment.
  • Communicate with the project team when support is needed.
  • Contribute to improving the quality of AI model training data.

Requirements11

  • Own a personal computer running Ubuntu or Linux.
  • Comfort installing required apps and project software on your system.
  • Tech-savvy and able to follow setup instructions independently.
  • Available for about 15 hours per week.
  • Patient, concentrated, and detail-oriented.
  • Able to follow written instructions carefully and consistently.
  • Comfortable completing structured and sometimes repetitive tasks.
  • Basic computer literacy and comfort with browser-based tools.
  • Reliable and able to meet task deadlines.
  • Students and junior applicants are welcome.
  • Prior ai data training, data annotation, qa or software testing experience is helpful but not required.

Who Should Apply

Students and junior technologists who regularly work with Ubuntu/Linux and can follow setup docs fit best. Availability around 15 hours weekly and a patient, detail-focused approach are essential. Those without a personal computer running Ubuntu or who struggle with browser-based tools should look elsewhere. While prior AI experience helps, this role welcomes newcomers seeking practical data-training exposure.
