Before you dive in
What Stellar AI’s own pages say, checked by us. Advertised rates are not verified earnings, and an application link does not mean paid tasks are available.
- ApplicationsCompany-stated
The positions page lists a Generalist role and three software engineering roles, each with an apply button. Joining the annotator pool involves a short profile, a skill-match test, signing contractor agreements and setting up payment.
- Country eligibilityNot fully confirmed
Only the Senior Software Engineer listing names a location: remote for candidates in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, Mexico, South America, Australia and New Zealand. The Generalist listing and FAQ do not state eligible countries, so check before taking the skill-match test.

- Advertised paySources disagree
The FAQ gives a $25/hour base rate for the Generalist pool, with project rates that vary. Engineering listings show headline ranges ($35-$100, $70-$160 and $80-$200/hour) that are higher than the post-qualification rates in the same listings ($35-$70, $70-$100 and $80-$120/hour). None of these figures are typical earnings.

Doesn’t recommendIf you make this your main gig, you'll never pay rent.
Your average company that hires everybody and their mama just to not give them a single task in months. It's been almost A YEAR for me. And mind you, this was after they constantly hounded me about what languages I was fluent in and my experience as a translator/copywriter. And to make things worse, AFAIK the guys in tech and biology are also starving. Most of their tasks get paid pennies or get rejected with 0 feedback. BLEAK.

Doesn’t recommendAwful
They will remove you from a project with absolutely no explanation despite glowing feedback comments. Stay away unless you enjoy wasting your time and getting your hopes destroyed.

RecommendsEasy to get started
They got back to me quickly after applying, and I was able to take an onboarding assessment and get started fast. Only downside is there isn't always work available.
