About AI training work

AI training (also called data labeling or human-feedback work) is the human side of building modern AI. Designers and annotators create and evaluate example inputs, write rationales, and rate model outputs so systems learn from real-world, high-quality signals. This is a fast-growing, remote-friendly way to apply professional skills to shape how next-generation AI behaves.

The role

OpenTrain is hiring a UX/UI Designer to contribute professional design input that trains generative AI models. You will produce and evaluate design examples, explain your decisions, and complete project tasks to specification so models learn from strong, real-world examples. No prior AI experience is required—your design expertise is the core qualification.

• Employment type: Contractor, Part-time
• Time commitment: 20+ hours/week
• Pay: Paid hourly, range $15–$30 USD per hour (rate within range depends on assignment)
• Work location: Remote — open worldwide; English required

What you'll do

• Apply UX/UI and product-design knowledge to create high-quality design examples that train AI models.
• Evaluate and rate model outputs and design alternatives (RLHF and evaluation rating tasks).
• Write clear, structured rationales explaining design decisions to guide the training process.
• Follow project specifications and quality guidelines to maintain consistency across tasks.
• Provide constructive critiques and analyses of designs with an emphasis on usability and accessibility.

Requirements

• Proven expertise in UX/UI design and proficiency with Figma.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating impactful digital product design projects.
• Able to communicate complex design concepts clearly in written and verbal form.
• Familiarity with usability, accessibility, and responsive design best practices.
• Skilled at analyzing and critiquing designs with a critical, constructive mindset.
• Able to work autonomously and efficiently in a remote, asynchronous environment.

Helpful background & who should apply

This role is a great fit for intermediate UX/UI professionals who enjoy articulating design thinking and producing clear, teachable examples. Prior experience with AI projects or annotation processes is a plus but not required. If you have a purposeful portfolio, strong communication skills, and enjoy improving design quality through critique, apply.

• Experience level: Intermediate
• Helpful: prior involvement in AI-related work or data annotation (not required)

• Work is paid per hour; actual assignment rates fall between $15 and $30/hr.
• Most communication and task instructions are asynchronous—manage your schedule to meet deadlines.
• You will be contracted by OpenTrain AI for the duration of the project.
