Commitments Required: Full-time (8 hours/day) 40 hours per week. Overlap 4 hours with PST

Engagement type: Contractor

Duration of contract : 4 Weeks

Important compensation context:This is a short-term contractor engagement (4 weeks, full-time) focused on AI training data — specifically, creating illustrations and sketches that help train and evaluate AI models. Tasks are self-contained and range from 10 to 30 minutes each, following clear creative briefs. You'll work independently at your own pace within a structured task queue.
Because compensation is tied to a pay-per-task model (not a traditional hourly salary), the effective hourly rate will vary based on task type and volume. This structure is best suited for candidates who are comfortable with task-based, gig-style work rather than a fixed monthly income.
Please share your minimum acceptable hourly rate so we can assess alignment before moving forward. Candidates with rate expectations significantly above the market range for AI annotation and data labeling work may not be a strong fit for this particular engagement.

Important note: Due to the high volume of applications, we are unable to provide individual feedback at this stage. Only candidates shortlisted for the next steps will be contacted by our team.
