About AI training work

AI training (data annotation, QA, and human evaluation) is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors prepare, review, and score examples that teach models how to write, translate, classify, and behave safely.

This kind of work is ideal for people who want remote, part-time, flexible roles where attention to detail and clear written feedback matter. Many projects require no prior technical degree, though some prefer or pay more for specialists.

The role

We are hiring Italy-based QA Annotators to review Italian-language data and AI outputs for quality, correctness, and alignment with project guidelines. This is project-based contract work with flexible hours (typically less than 20 hours per week).

• Employment type: Contractor, Part-time
• Expected time: Less than 20 hours/week (flexible)
• Pay: $17 USD per hour
• Work location: Must reside in Italy

What you'll do

You will audit completed labels and AI-generated text, apply evaluation rubrics, and record scores and reviewer notes. Tasks are text-focused and include classification, tagging, and corrective edits.

• Review and score Italian language AI outputs for quality and guideline alignment
• Audit and correct completed labels and flag errors
• Classify text, tag entities, and annotate sentiment
• Write concise, constructive reviewer notes in Italian
• Suggest improvements to guidelines and workflows when you spot recurring issues

• Reliable computer and stable internet connection for web-based tools
• Bachelor’s degree or higher preferred (not required)

Who should apply

This role is a good fit for bilingual Italian speakers with hands-on annotation or QA experience who want flexible, part-time contract work. Ideal applicants are organized, pay close attention to detail, and can explain corrections clearly in writing.

• Experienced annotators, QA reviewers, or evaluators with Italian-language expertise
