Software Engineers

Engineers write, review and grade coding tasks that train and evaluate frontier AI models.
What the work looks like
AI labs pay engineers to teach their models how good software is written. Tasks usually fall into four kinds.
Review and rank AI code
Compare answers from AI models, spot bugs and explain which solution is better and why. This feedback is how models learn to code well.
Write reference solutions
Solve realistic programming problems the way a senior engineer would, so the model has a gold-standard answer to learn from.
Build tests, benchmarks and environments
Create repos, test suites and tasks that measure how well AI agents fix bugs and ship features in real codebases.
Break the model
Find the edge cases where AI coding assistants fail, from subtle security issues to wrong assumptions about a library.

How it works
- Get matched
Answer four quick questions. We rank every open task by how likely you are to be hired.
- Apply on the platform
Apply where the task is posted. Most platforms run a short skills assessment or interview and an ID check.
- Work and get paid
Pick up tasks when it suits you. The platform pays you directly, on its own schedule.
Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- You have 2+ years of professional or open-source coding experience
- You can read someone else's code and explain what's wrong with it
- You write clearly in English and like explaining your reasoning
- You want flexible, remote work around a job or studies
Probably not if
- You're looking for a salaried, full-time position with benefits
- You need guaranteed hours every week
- You haven't written production or project code yet
Questions engineers ask
What do AI training jobs for software engineers involve?
Most tasks ask you to judge, write or test code for an AI model: rating two answers to a coding question, writing a clean reference solution, or building tests that check whether an AI agent really fixed a bug. The work is done remotely on the platform that posts the task.
How much do software engineers earn training AI?
Rates are set by each platform and shown on every task. Most software tasks on humaven pay between $55–$100 an hour, and senior or specialist roles go up to $350 an hour.
Do I need machine learning experience?
No. Most tasks need strong general engineering skills, not ML knowledge. You're paid for knowing what good code looks like.
Can I do this alongside a full-time job?
Many people do. Most tasks are flexible, with no minimum hours. Check your employment contract for rules on outside work before you apply.
Which programming languages are in demand?
Python, TypeScript and Java appear most often, followed by C++, Rust and Go. Some roles focus on a single language or framework; each task lists what it needs.
How do I apply?
Answer four quick questions on humaven to see the tasks you're most likely to get, then apply on the platform that posts the task. Most platforms run a short assessment or interview before you start.
