Before you take a part-time role

Check the hours each posting asks for and whether your employer, your professional rules or your school allow outside work. Every role here is free to apply to: a legitimate platform never charges you.

Frequently asked questions

Are there part-time AI training jobs?

Yes. These are the roles whose own postings say they are part-time: Surge AI, Handshake AI, Mercor, Weekday and Edison Scientific have the most open right now. Most AI training work is contract work you take when there is a project, so a role listed elsewhere without the word can still fit around a job; these are the ones that say so.

How much do part-time AI training jobs pay?

Across the 165 distinct hourly rates posted for part-time roles right now, typical pay runs from $40 to $125 an hour, with a median of $50. The highest posted rate is $300 an hour, at Handshake AI. 55 of the 415 open part-time roles state no hourly rate, so check each listing.

How many hours a week are they?

Each posting sets its own hours: some name a weekly minimum or range, others let you take tasks when you choose. Read the hours in the listing before you apply, because a project can ask for more hours in its first weeks.

Can I do this next to a full-time job?

Usually, but check two things first: whether your employment contract or professional rules limit outside work, and whether the project's hours fit yours. Our free side-work check reads the rules for your job and country before you apply.

Are these part-time jobs legitimate?

They are posted by AI data platforms on their own job boards, and each platform's page here says whether it is legit and how it pays. A legitimate platform never charges you to apply or asks you to pay for training.
