Expert data: coding
Coding expert data for AI, from US software engineers.
Software and security engineers from our own network review, compare and write the code your AI is trained and evaluated on, and build the environments your agents are tested in. We plan the project, staff it, check the work and deliver it.
For coding assistant and agent companies, evaluation and RL-environment studios, and labs training their models to code.
What we deliver
Coding expert work your AI is built and judged on
Expert evaluation
Engineers review AI-written code and agent runs: does it work, is it correct, secure and maintainable, would they merge it.
Preference and comparison data
Engineers compare two solutions or two agent trajectories and say which is better, and why.
Fine-tuning data
Engineers write problems, solutions and explanations across languages and frameworks.
RL environments and tasks
Engineers turn real engineering tasks into environments with the tests an agent must pass, and reference solutions.
Red-teaming
Security engineers try to get insecure code, working exploits and leaked secrets out of your system.
Benchmarks
Engineers write and review hard coding tasks, each decided by its tests.
The experts
Who does the work, and how we check them
Software engineers across languages, frameworks and seniority, and security engineers.
No licence covers software, so we judge engineers on their work: their profile and history, a spoken assessment, and test items whose correct answers are known.
For a field we are short of, we recruit the professionals the project needs.
What experts cost
What coding experts are paid for AI work today
We read the pay of every open AI-training role on the major platforms every hour, so a quote starts from what that kind of expert is paid now, not a guess. A project's price per expert hour is the expert's rate plus our fee for running it, and the quote shows both.
| Expert | Typical rate | Range | Measured from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cybersecurity experts | $80/hr | $50 to $125 | 30 rates, 8 platforms |
| Software engineers | $75/hr | $40 to $150 | 197 rates, 21 platforms |
Typical rate: the middle of what the open roles naming that profession pay, for roles open to US experts; the range runs from the 25th percentile of those roles to the 90th-percentile advertised ceiling. Read live.
How it works
From your brief to delivered work
Tell us what your AI needs
The field, the kind of expert work, how much of it and when, and anything about the data. A short chat or an email is enough.
We plan it from our own network
The experts we would put on it, with their credentials and how we assessed them, how the work is checked, and a first batch with what counts as accepted written down.
A paid pilot
One kind of expert, one field or one set of tasks, with as many experts as you need, done and checked against the agreed standard, so you judge real work before you commit to more.
The work runs, checked and delivered
In your tools or ours, reviewed before it reaches you, delivered and invoiced on the schedule you set, with one contact for the whole project.
Questions
What teams ask us about coding expert data
Which languages and stacks?
The ones your work needs: a project names its languages, frameworks and the seniority it needs, and we staff engineers who work in them.
Are you a recruiting agency or a staffing firm?
No. We deliver the work: we plan the project, put experts from our own network on it, check what they produce and deliver it to you. You deal with one company for the whole project, not with the experts one by one.
Where do your experts come from?
From AITraining.jobs, the site US professionals use to find paid AI training work. 8,521 people have a profile with us, 645 of them US experts (in the US and licensed, holding a doctorate or a Verified Expert, as their profile reads). We read each profile, check licences on public registries where we can (the NPI registry for clinicians, the New York and California bar records for attorneys, and each state board's record before anyone starts a project), assess people in a spoken interview, and know who is available now. For a field we are short of, we recruit the professionals the project needs.
How do you check the quality of the work?
Against a written standard agreed with you before the first batch: a reviewer from the same field checks the work, with test items whose correct answers are known, and anything that misses the standard is redone before it reaches you. You see the checks, not only the result.
How is it priced?
Per expert hour: the expert's rate for that kind of work plus our fee for running the project. We set the expert's rate from the market, because we read the pay of every AI-training role on the major platforms every hour, so you pay what that expertise costs today, not a guess. The quote shows the expert's rate and our fee separately, and a paid pilot (one kind of expert, one field or one set of tasks, with as many experts as you need) is priced below our usual fee.
What about our data and confidentiality?
Your data and instructions are used for your project only. Every expert on it has accepted written confidentiality and assigns their work to you. Health data that identifies a person is handled only under a signed business associate agreement.
Can the experts work in our own tools?
Yes. Most projects run in the client's own labeling or evaluation tool; where you have none, we provide one.
Why would experts choose to work through you?
Because we pay for every hour a project asks of them, onboarding and calibration included, never track their screens, write the pay and the terms down before they accept, and let them answer any review of their work. The best experts have many offers; this is how we keep them.
Other fields
Expert data in every field we staff
For companies building AI
Tell us what your AI needs
A short chat. We reply with the experts we would put on it, how we would check the work and a plan for the first batch. Or have us find the experts for you to contract yourself.
We find the experts
We find and assess the experts your work needs and introduce the ones who said yes. You contract them yourself.
A fee per expert you accept.
We run the project
We staff, run, review and deliver the expert work your AI needs, with professionals from our own network.
Priced per expert hour.
