About this role

From the innodata listing

Innodata (Nasdaq: INOD) is a global data engineering company. We believe that data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are inextricably linked. Our mission is to enable the responsible advancement of artificial intelligence by providing the data, evaluation frameworks, and human expertise required to build AI systems that can be trusted at scale. We provide a range of transferable solutions, platforms, and services for Generative AI / AI builders and adopters. In every relationship, we honor our 36+ year legacy delivering the highest quality data and outstanding outcomes for our customers. Scope of the Role: At Innodata, we’re partnering with the world’s leading technology companies to build the future of generative AI and large language models (LLMs). We’re on the lookout for smart, savvy, and curious Generative AI Specialist to join our global contributor community as part of our Subject Matter Expert (SME) on Demand program. This is not a traditional full-time role. It’s a part-time, remote, flexible, project-specific opportunity designed for those who want to make a real impact—on their schedule. Whether you're a writer, linguist, educator, researcher, or just deeply passionate about language and logic, this role lets you contribute to cutting-edge AI development while maintaining control over your time. You’ll be helping LLMs learn the intricacies of language and reasoning—not just how to write, but how to think. If you’ve ever dreamed of shaping the intelligence behind tomorrow’s technology, this is your chance. This is more than just a gig—it’s a rare chance to help shape the future of AI from anywhere in the world, on your own terms. What You’ll Own: Rating/assessing the performance of AI models or algorithms based on their output or behavior through a set of evaluative questions. Labeling elements of a piece of content rather than the content as a whole. Assigning predefined categories or labels to items. Evaluating the perceived quality and/or appropriateness of content Generating labels to advance understanding of a concept, trend etc. Creation of additional training data for machine learning models by applying transformations to the original data, such as modifying images (rotation, flipping, cropping), generating new text (paraphrasing, summarization), or altering audio/video signals (speed modification, pitch shifting) to reduce overfitting and increase dataset diversity. Reviewing data and identifying whether or not a product feature works as intended based on the project's guidelines. Labeling model outputs to identify if a piece of content is or isn't something. Examples: identify clickbait; identifying gaming videos; identifying branded content. Ordering or ranking items based on a set of preferences or criteria. Creating prompts or questions that will be used to generate responses from a language model or other AI system. Projects that evaluate the relevance of content based on a relevancy scale (1-3, 1-5, etc.). Generating responses to prompts or questions using a language model or other AI system. Rewriting existing text while preserving the original meaning, often to improve clarity or style and adherence to guidelines. Producing concise summaries of longer pieces of text or data. Converting spoken language or audio content into written text. Converting text or spoken language from one language to another. Gathering and compiling various forms of data to be used for training, evaluating, or fine-tuning the AI models. This may include text, images, videos, audio files, or other types of digital content. You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Have: PHD is required Professional or Expert level proficiency (C1/C2) in English The expected hourly salary range for this position is $25-$30 p/hour, based on experience, skills, and qualifications. Please be aware of recruitment scams involving individuals or organizations falsely claiming to represent employers. Innodata will never ask for payment, banking details, or sens

Common questions

What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?

No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.

Do task-based AI training roles require an interview?

Most skip a live interview entirely and gate access through an automated assessment or qualification task instead. Where we've confirmed the specific requirement for this listing, it's called out above in What We Know About This Role.

What does Data Science work look like for a Generative AI Associate(PHD) - Flexible Hours?

Tasks here are scoped to Data Science, not generic labeling. As a Generative AI Associate(PHD) - Flexible Hours, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Data Science) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Data Science background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Data Annotation, English, Entry Level, and PhD are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $25–$30/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.

Is a PhD required?

For this specific role, yes, or near-equivalent professional depth. The credential gate is enforced at the assessment stage, not just on paper. That said, active PhD candidates and people with equivalent published research have qualified without a formal degree. The assessment is the real filter.

Can I apply from outside Remote - United States or the United States?

This specific role is open only to people based in Remote - United States and the United States. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply, since they can differ by country.
