Hourly listings currently open on SME Careers, updated with the job board.
Applying from a listing attaches its Job Reference ID, so SuperAnnotate knows which role you mean. Applications without one can sit in the general pool with no project attached.
List your domain and sub-area, degrees, tools, languages with proficiency, and time zone, then take the recorded AI interview. An entry like "PhD in Molecular Biology, RNA-seq analysis" matches far more projects than "science background."
Some roles add a qualification exam on the SuperAnnotate platform, or a call with the recruiting team. Exams test accuracy, reasoning, and attention to detail, and paid exams show up as exam earnings. Follow the guidelines exactly and explain each choice. Results can take up to 7 business days, and a human makes the final hiring decision.
Approved experts sign a contract through Deel and verify their ID. Earnings for each Monday to Sunday are bundled into a weekly payout, and the money typically arrives 1 to 3 days after it is sent, depending on your Deel payout method.
SME Careers listings publish a maximum hourly rate only, so typical pay is below the figure shown. Open listings show maximums from $3 to $150 an hour, depending on the field and language.
When your profile matches a project, you are invited by email to an exam on the SuperAnnotate platform. It mixes sample tasks and questions that test accuracy, reasoning, and attention to detail, and it rewards following the project guidelines over speed.
Exam results can take up to 7 business days. Silence after that usually means no project currently matches your profile, and SME Careers may contact you later when one opens.
Weekly, through Deel. Approved earnings for each Monday to Sunday are bundled into one payout, which typically arrives within 1 to 3 days depending on the payout method you chose in Deel.
