About this role

From the SME Careers listing

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a PyCharm Specialist (SME) to create realistic, challenging computer-based tasks using PyCharm and related Python development workflows. You will design practical PyCharm tasks, document them clearly in SuperAnnotate, ensure your setup supports the task, and record yourself executing the task on your computer.

Tasks may include creating Python projects, configuring interpreters, managing virtual environments, running scripts, debugging code, using the terminal, installing packages, formatting code, refactoring, using Git integration, or working with test files. Your work will help train advanced AI models to better understand how real users complete Python development workflows in an IDE.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your PyCharm expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by teaching them how real users complete practical Python coding and debugging tasks.

Key responsibilities

  • Create realistic PyCharm tasks: Come up with realistic and challenging tasks that can be executed on the computer using PyCharm, then document the task clearly in SuperAnnotate.
  • Prepare the work environment: Ensure your setup supports the task, including having PyCharm installed, projects/files available, interpreter configured, dependencies installed, and references ready before recording.
  • Record task execution: Record yourself executing the PyCharm task on your computer while following project instructions and ensuring the workflow is clear, complete, and realistic.
  • Document task context: Provide enough task context, steps, goals, project files, dependencies, and notes so reviewers can understand what the task is and how it was completed.
  • Demonstrate practical software use: Complete workflows involving coding, debugging, run configurations, virtual environments, terminal commands, Git integration, package installation, or test execution where relevant.
  • Maintain submission quality: Review your recording and documentation before submission to ensure the task is complete, understandable, realistic, and aligned with project guidelines.

Your profile

  • Hands-on experience using PyCharm for Python development, debugging, project setup, package management, refactoring, terminal workflows, or Git integration.
  • English proficiency at B2 level or higher to understand project instructions, document tasks clearly, and communicate with the project team.
  • Comfortable using a computer, managing files, opening projects, configuring interpreters, installing packages, and recording workflows.
  • Ability to come up with realistic and challenging PyCharm tasks that reflect actual coding, debugging, scripting, automation, testing, or project-setup use cases.
  • Strong understanding of PyCharm basics such as project structure, interpreters, virtual environments, run configurations, debugger, terminal, code navigation, and version control.
  • Ability to ensure your setup supports the task, including having PyCharm installed, files/projects available, dependencies installed, and any required references ready before recording.
  • High attention to detail when preparing the task, executing the workflow, and checking that the recording is complete and understandable.
  • Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
  • Additional professional skills are appreciated, including Python, backend development, data analysis, automation, QA, GitHub, technical writing, or other computer-based workflows.

Eligibility depends on your country of residence and any applicable trade restrictions. Some projects may have additional language or region-specific requirements.

💰 Pay Rate May Vary Based on Your Location Your actual compensation will be determined based on your location and local market conditions. See regional job listings for localized pay information, or the application process will clarify your specific rate.

If you're unsure whether you're eligible, proceed with the application—SME's screening will determine your jurisdiction status and applicable compensation.

Why this role

This PyCharm Specialist role pays $20 per hour for designing Python development tasks in PyCharm and recording yourself running them, covering interpreter configuration, virtual environments, debugging, and Git integration from inside the IDE. The task list includes formatting and refactoring code and installing packages through PyCharm's tooling, so it fits someone who works in the IDE daily rather than someone who edits Python in a plain text editor. Running scripts and using the built-in terminal are part of what the recording needs to demonstrate.

Common questions

Is SME Careers work ongoing or project-based?

Project-based. Assignment duration and availability vary by project, but consistently high-quality work earns priority access to whatever comes next.

Does SME Careers offer a path for advancement?

Yes. SME Careers is unusual among AI training platforms for this: it publishes an explicit career ladder, Data Trainer, then Quality Analyst, then QA Lead, then Project Manager. Consistent, high-quality work is what moves you up it.

What does task-based AI training work look like?

Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.

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.

What does Software Engineering work look like for a PyCharm Specialist?

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

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Debugging, Python Development, PyCharm, and Python 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 $20/hr, a per-task rate. 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.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to SME Careers's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

Who is behind SME Careers?

SME Careers is the expert talent division of SuperAnnotate, an AI data infrastructure platform, connecting domain experts with high-level AI training projects.
