AI Lab roles\nFor AI Lab roles, we scout, review, and approve profiles for access to future project opportunities.\nThe missions listed for AI Lab roles are not traditional job openings. AI Lab work is often highly confidential as this exposes information of what an AI Lab is working on, and project requests are unpredictable. When an AI Lab request comes in, we often need to respond within 24 hours with suitable talent.\nMatching depends on the specific needs of each AI Lab project and your niche expertise. Once your profile is reviewed and approved, you may be matched to relevant AI Lab projects when suitable opportunities arise.\nThis can happen within hours, but it may also take months, depending on the researchers at the AI labs and their project needs.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4284,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Freelance & Talent Marketplaces","AI Training Data & Annotation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T18:21:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.157,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":157,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":336000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/10x-platform-engineer-ai-trainer-freelance-8-20hrsweek-remote","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/10x-platform-engineer-ai-trainer-freelance-8-20hrsweek-remote.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T13:19:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18133,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":668703},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=668703"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2F10x-platform-engineer-ai-trainer-freelance-8-20hrsweek-remote"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2F10x-platform-engineer-ai-trainer-freelance-8-20hrsweek-remote"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2F10x-platform-engineer-ai-trainer-freelance-8-20hrsweek-remote"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/10x-platform-engineer-ai-trainer-freelance-8-20hrsweek-remote\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2F10x-platform-engineer-ai-trainer-freelance-8-20hrsweek-remote"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":612952}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"10x.team","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":612952},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
