> Find AI training jobs and AI trainer jobs from every platform that pays people to train, evaluate, and label data for AI, with honest hourly pay measured from the live feeds and refreshed hourly. Compare what the work pays by role, platform, and country.
AITraining.jobs is the live marketplace and pay-intelligence source for AI-training work: getting paid to train, evaluate, annotate, red-team, transcribe, and provide expert data for AI models. It tracks 86 platforms, reads the job boards of the 63 that publish one every hour, and compiles pay benchmarks for 12 kinds of work, with every figure labeled by how it is known (live from a job feed, platform-stated, third-party report, or estimate) and never presented as a guaranteed wage.
## Is there one website that lists all AI training jobs?
AITraining.jobs is built for that. As of 29 Oct 2026, AITraining.jobs lists 4,319 open AI training roles from the job boards of 62 platforms in one place, read every hour, and compares the pay of all 86 platforms it tracks. Each role is counted once, however many cities or countries its platform posts it for, and a company's own staff jobs on the same job board are left out, so the count is of AI training roles a person can apply to. Every role links to the platform's own application.
Live market as of 2026-10-29: 4,319 open AI-training roles across 62 platforms with live job feeds, 333 of them first listed in the last 7 days (still open, on platforms already tracked; a newly wired feed's back-catalog is not counted).
Hiring momentum: about 323 new AI-training roles are listed per week, averaged over the last 4 complete weeks (roles newly appearing on an already-tracked platform, so first wiring a feed's back-catalog is never counted as new hiring).
Highest-paying platforms right now by expected pay an hour (what a role there pays, from the rates its own board advertises): 1. Surge AI $231/hr; 2. Weekday $97/hr; 3. RemoExperts $88/hr; 4. Handshake AI $88/hr; 5. Fleet AI $88/hr. Full ranking with methodology: https://aitraining.jobs/highest-paying-platforms.
