AITraining.jobs Research Report, data from 20 Sep 2026 to 17 Oct 2026. By Yuma Heymans, AITraining.jobs (O-mega Enterprise, Inc.), Newark, Delaware, United States.
Summary
Of 284 Coding & Software Evaluation roles open on 17 Oct 2026, 69.4% name a programming language, Python most often (35.6%); where enough roles on two or more platforms state pay, median advertised rates run from $50/hr (Python) to $160/hr (Lean (theorem prover)).
Question: Which programming languages are AI labs hiring coders to train models in, and what does each pay?
