What caught our eye this week
The top of the pay table belongs to clinically-credentialed medical reviewers this week. Multiple Medical Expert roles hit $130–300/hr, with at least one asking specifically for MD, DO, or RN credentials in the US or Canada. The work is grading AI outputs on diagnosis, treatment planning, and guideline interpretation — attending-level judgment, not just pattern matching. If you’re clinical and can spare 5–10 hours a week, this is the best-paying AI work on the site.
Right behind them: finance specialists in niche verticals. Private Wealth / Personal Financial Advisor posted at $160–300/hr. Water Infrastructure & Municipal Finance Expert at $180/hr. Retail Investment Research Specialist at $105–200/hr. The pattern is consistent: AI companies are hiring for judgment on regulated, high-stakes financial content where a bad answer has compliance consequences. Generic "finance expert" roles don’t pay these rates — specificity does.
The standout one-time project this week is a $5,000 CEOs & Founders interview (50+ employee companies only). One sit-down, fixed payout, no ongoing commitment. If you run a mid-sized company, that’s a single afternoon of conversation for a month’s rent. See the one-time projects bucket for the rest of this tier.
Volume is up sharply this week — 227 new listings across tracked sources, the biggest weekly add in the last month. Categories running hot: evaluation (62 new), finance (0), medical (0). Voice-data and language-eval roles are also refreshing in bulk as the summer localization cycle kicks off.

Methodology
A listing counts as new when our tracker first sees it on a platform’s own job board. This week’s window: 2026-04-17 to 2026-04-24. Every Apply button carries the correct attribution — you go straight to the source’s application page, no SignalGigs account required. Pay ranges are parsed from the source listing; if a rate seems off, check the underlying post.
Frequently asked questions
How many new AI training jobs were posted this week?
227 new AI training listings appeared on tracked platforms between 2026-04-17 and 2026-04-24. Average hourly pay across those listings was $64/hr, with top rates reaching $180/hr.
Why are medical specialist roles paying so much this week?
AI training programs need clinically-credentialed reviewers to grade model outputs on diagnosis, treatment, and guideline interpretation. The supply of MDs, DOs, and RNs willing to do async remote review is small and the work requires attending-level judgment, so hourly rates have settled at $130–300/hr. That tier tracked about a dozen new openings this week.
Why apply on weekends?
Most applicants check AI training platforms on weekday lunch breaks. Friday-evening and weekend applicants land in recruiter queues with less competition — especially for niche domain roles posted mid-week that still haven't filled.
