faq

Real questions, short answers

What do AI coding jobs involve?

Day to day, you solve programming tasks, review and fix AI-generated code, and explain which of two solutions is better and why. Some projects test entire repositories or agent workflows.

How much do AI coding jobs pay?

Across the 206 live jobs on this page that list pay, most pay $30–115/hr, and the median is $65/hr. In October 2026, Alignerr had software engineer AI-training roles listed at $20–100 an hour, while Mercor listed US software engineers at $70–150 an hour.

Do I need a computer science degree?

Not always. Plenty of listings accept a degree or equivalent hands-on experience, and a coding test is where you prove your skills.

Is AI taking coding jobs?

This page tracks paid work that improves AI rather than the wider job market. These roles exist because AI models depend on experienced engineers to check and improve the code they produce.
