About this Role
What You'll Do
- Assess and forecast the outcomes of real-world, industry, and market events
- Assign well-reasoned probability estimates grounded in current events and public information
- Articulate your reasoning clearly and concisely in structured annotation formats
- Review and evaluate prediction-related data for accuracy and consistency
- Interpret rapidly evolving news cycles and intelligence signals
- Maintain high annotation quality across a range of forecasting tasks
About the Role
We're looking for sharp, analytically minded individuals to join a remote AI research project focused on structured forecasting and probability analysis. Your expertise in evaluating real-world events will directly help train and improve AI models that reason about uncertainty. If you follow geopolitics, financial markets, elections, sports, or major world events — and you think in probabilities — this role was made for you.
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Fully Remote
- Commitment: Flexible hours, work on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Strong probabilistic thinker — you naturally reason in likelihoods, not just certainties
- Up-to-date on current events, market trends, or geopolitical developments
- Able to articulate your reasoning clearly in writing
- Detail-oriented and consistent in your analytical approach
- Familiar with prediction markets (e.g., Polymarket, Kalshi, Metaculus) — a plus, but not required
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment
Nice to Have
- Background in finance, economics, political science, statistics, or journalism
- Experience participating in forecasting tournaments or prediction platforms
- Familiarity with Bayesian reasoning or structured analytic techniques
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI research with real-world impact
- Fully remote and flexible — work when it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the opportunity for ongoing contract work
- Contribute your unique analytical perspective to advance AI reasoning capabilities
- Join a global community of domain experts shaping the future of AI
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment actually like?
Notoriously strict. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for role-specific timed tests — a blank coding environment for engineers, rigorous grammar and fact-checking for writers. There is almost no hand-holding. The critical catch: this is essentially a one-shot process. Fail or abandon the assessment, and you are typically locked out of that role permanently with no option to retake.
How quickly can I start earning after I pass?
Not immediately. Even after passing the assessment and completing identity verification (via Persona) and billing setup (via Deel), you may sit in a waiting pool for weeks or months. You only start earning when a project matching your specific skills launches and you are officially assigned. Do not plan around Alignerr income until you are actively on a project.
Is there a community?
Yes — and it is one of Alignerr's genuine strengths. Once assigned to a project, you are added to Slack channels where you can ask questions, get rubric clarifications from admins, and talk to other AI trainers. This is rare in AI training and makes a real difference when guidelines are ambiguous or change mid-project.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the barrier to entry?
Alignerr is known for difficult technical assessments. You must pass a timed test in your specific domain (e.g., Python, Physics, or Language) before you are eligible for any paid projects.
