In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a GitHub Specialist (SME) to create realistic, challenging computer-based tasks using GitHub and related Git workflows. You will design practical GitHub tasks, document them clearly in SuperAnnotate, ensure your setup supports the task, and record yourself executing the task on your computer.

Tasks may include repository setup, branch management, commits, pull requests, issues, code review, README updates, file edits, GitHub Actions basics, project boards, release notes, collaboration workflows, or documentation changes. Your work will help train advanced AI models to better understand how real users complete software collaboration and version-control workflows.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your GitHub expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by teaching them how real users complete practical version-control, repository, and developer collaboration tasks.
