Genomics Researcher - AI Trainer

DataAnnotation; United States; Remote; USD 55,000 - 207,000; Full time

Job summary

DataAnnotation seeks contributors to run agentic coding sessions, analyze model outputs, and document failures to improve future coding agents. You will vibe-code on real tasks, fix bugs, extend APIs, and observe how far the model can work autonomously.

The role emphasizes high-quality written explanations and producing production-ready results without requiring a formal degree. Flexible, remote, and project-available work environment is offered.

Qualifications

• Professional or serious open-source experience shipping production code.
• Clear written English in explanations.
• No degree required; focus on ability rather than formal credentials.

Responsibilities

• Vibe-code with frontier models on real tasks: fix bugs, extend APIs, ship features, and assess model progress.
• Analyze the AI's work against production standards: identify bugs, explain failures, and rate reasoning.
• Red-team the models to surface unsafe code, fake test passes, and confidently wrong solutions before real users engage them.

Job description

The newest models can vibe-code a whole feature in minutes. Someone has to check whether that code actually works, and that someone is you.

You'll run agentic coding sessions on real engineering tasks, analyze what the models produce, and red-team them until they fail in interesting ways. Every failure you document teaches the next generation of coding agents.

What you’ll actually do

• Vibe-code with frontier models on real tasks: fix a bug, extend an API, ship a feature, and see how far the model gets on its own.
• Analyze the AI's work against production standards: find the bugs, explain the failure, and rate the model's reasoning.
• Red-team the models to expose unsafe code, faked test passes, and confidently wrong solutions before real users hit them.

What we look for

• Professional or serious open-source experience shipping production code.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.

Compensation

Up to $40 – $150+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $10k–$100k+ a year; some make it their full-time income.
