Bottom line
aitrainer.work is a job board for remote AI training and data annotation work, listing more than 4,000 roles from 24 platforms such as Mercor, Turing and Alignerr, each with its stated pay. It is free for job seekers, and employers pay $49 or $99 once per job. Useful for teams hiring AI trainers and for recruiters checking what this work pays.
Stands out for: It is the most complete single view of AI training work, with the posted rate on every card, open pay data under CC BY 4.0 and a free MCP server and jobs API with no key. Premium posts are pitched one by one to matching members of its talent pool.
Watch out for: It is a one-person business that earns referral fees from some of the platforms it lists and runs sponsored placements in the feed, so the default Featured sort is its own ranking. Most roles are short contract or per-task work, and posted rates are not weekly income. The certification exam price is shown only after you sign in.
Overview
aitrainer.work collects open roles for AI training and data annotation work from 24 platforms, including Mercor, Turing, Alignerr, Outlier, SME Careers and micro1, and refreshes them daily. When checked on 2026-10-27 it held 4,324 open jobs, from general tasks such as rating AI answers to expert roles in law, medicine, finance and coding.
Every card shows the pay the platform states, whether hourly, per task or yearly, with the source and the date it was checked. Filters cover field, platform, pay range, pay type, minimum degree and 61 languages, and a short matcher suggests roles from three questions. The site also publishes platform reviews with payout terms and a monthly AI Training Pay Index.
For job seekers the board, alerts and the Academy lessons are free. A paid Certified AI Training Fundamentals exam, 24 questions in 24 minutes with an 80% pass mark, gives a PDF certificate with a verification link, a LinkedIn badge and a stronger talent pool profile.
Employers post a job once for 30 days: Standard at $49 or Premium at $99, which adds a Featured badge, top placement in the weekly digest and outreach to matching talent pool members. Applicants go to the employer's own link and there is no commission. Its listing and pay data are open under CC BY 4.0, with a jobs JSON API and a keyless MCP server. The board is run by Pietro Romeo in Italy.
