Common questions
How and when does Ethos pay experts?
Within 30 days of invoice submission after a project closes. That net-30 schedule is standard for enterprise expert networks, but it's slower than the weekly payouts some AI training platforms offer, so plan your cash flow around it.
Is Ethos regular AI training work like rating chatbot responses?
No. Ethos is an expert network, not a task queue. AI labs, investment funds, and Fortune 500s pay to access your specific domain knowledge (deal analysis, clinical reasoning, legal logic, financial modeling) through three formats: multi-week consulting engagements, 30-60 minute advisory calls, and targeted research surveys.
Is AI training work the same as traditional consulting?
No. Instead of client deliverables, you're given complex scenarios to evaluate: grading the AI's logic, correcting its hallucinations, and supplying expert-level reasoning it doesn't have on its own. The job is closer to teaching than consulting.
Why do these AI training roles pay so much?
Because general knowledge isn't what's being tested. The model already knows the basics; what it needs is expertise on edge cases, the rare, difficult, highly technical judgment calls only a senior professional in the field would make correctly.
What does Software Engineering work look like for a Senior AI/ML Engineer Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a Senior AI/ML Engineer Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Software Engineering) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Software Engineering background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Coding and Expert are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $150/hr, an hourly rate. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Ethos's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Who built Ethos and is it legitimate?
Yes, it's legitimate and well-funded: Ethos raised $3.5M from General Catalyst and was co-founded by Daniel Mankowitz (Google DeepMind research scientist and lead author of AlphaDev) and James Lo (McKinsey, SoftBank Vision Fund). Over 17,000 experts have signed up, and it's actively working with 25+ PE firms, hedge funds, and consultancies. The referral link on this page is an affiliate link; it doesn't affect your pay or opportunities.
