This role is a good fit for students, junior candidates, Linux enthusiasts, and other tech-savvy individuals who are patient, focused, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with Ubuntu/Linux.

This is a fully remote, hourly paid contractor role with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI data services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate that provides AI training data to many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation model labs.
