What to know
About 10x Team
10x Team is an Amsterdam-based talent company founded in 2023 by Angelique Schouten and Anton Zhelyazkov. It connects experienced professionals with specialist assignments, including freelance projects that use human expertise to train and evaluate AI systems. Its current AI trainer roles are aimed mainly at experts in the European Union and United Kingdom.
The company recruits for defined professional missions and often represents a client or AI lab during the matching process.
AI data training work at 10x Team
The AI Trainer openings at 10x Team cover sectors such as engineering, finance, healthcare, law, operations, science and creative work. Your tasks may include turning real professional workflows into prompts, reviewing model answers, writing gold-standard responses, building evaluation rubrics and pointing out reasoning or factual errors. Listings often require several years of practical experience because the value comes from judgment that a general annotator may not have.
Many current roles state a remote freelance schedule of roughly eight to twenty hours per week and limit applicants to the EU or UK. That is common, not universal: use each vacancy’s location and time requirements. Some applications are for a specific mission, while others build a talent pool for upcoming client demand.
What is it like to work at 10x Team?
You normally work as a freelancer or independent contractor. The schedule may be flexible within project deadlines, but a client can ask for overlap hours, a minimum weekly commitment or a short intensive period. Project length and pay differ by mission.
10x Team describes these as AI-lab “missions,” not conventional jobs with a fixed start date. A July 2026 quantitative-modeler mission asks for roughly eight to twenty hours per week, but also says a match may arrive after days, weeks or months. Passing the screening can therefore qualify you for future client work without creating an immediate paid schedule.
This model can suit you if you already freelance and can wait for the right specialist match. It is risky to treat a talent-pool acceptance as replacement income until you have a signed, project-specific agreement.
Application process at 10x Team
The initial application asks for a CV or professional profile, along with your location, availability and area of expertise. After processing your information, you may be invited to do an AI interview and a domain-specific exercise. The exact assessment depends on the mission; technical and healthcare specialists may go through different screening.
The current flow combines an AI interview with a domain-specific exercise. If no client slot is ready, a qualified profile can remain in the network until a relevant mission opens. A later client match may add another interview or validation step; the project-specific offer is where the start date, rate, expected duration and weekly commitment become binding.
