What the work looks like
Every sample is public, so you can see the work before you apply.
Coding tasks with tests
Write a problem, starting code, a reference solution and hidden tests. Before you submit, our sandbox checks that at least one test fails on the starting code and all pass on your solution.

Who can apply?
Professionals who live in the United States and have hands-on experience in a field we cover: software engineering, AI agents, finance and more. Each role lists its requirements. For now, residents of California, Illinois, Massachusetts or New Jersey join a waitlist when they apply. You'll need: a computer; a US driver's license or state ID, and a phone or webcam for the ID check; a microphone for the interview, or type it instead.
Which steps are paid?
Applying takes about 30 minutes in all, unpaid; strong test results then earn a paid trial task once a client project needs your field. A person on our team decides, usually within two business days, and emails you. After approval, every approved answer is paid, like the trial, and so is training time our team asks for and, on projects that pay reviewers, every review.
When do I get paid?
Once a week: everything approved since the last payout goes out together, by direct deposit through Stripe, our payments provider, and we email you when it's sent. Your Earnings page shows each answer and payout. Money you've earned is always paid, whatever happens to your account.
What if there's no work in my field?
Approval doesn't guarantee hours: projects open when labs need your field. Your Work page lists what's open in your approved fields, and we email you when a new project opens.
How much will I earn?
Every role shows its pay before you apply, per approved task or per hour. Your earnings page lists every approved task and payout.
Can I use ChatGPT or other AI tools?
Not unless a project's instructions allow a specific tool. Labs pay for human judgment, so every answer must be your own work. Read the original-work policy.
What if a reviewer returns my answer?
You see the reviewer's notes and can fix and resubmit it. On hourly projects your time is paid whatever the decision, unless an answer breaks the original-work or confidentiality rules; on per-answer projects only accepted answers are paid, and the notes say why one isn't. If you think a decision is wrong, email support@canonset.com: a person reads it and answers within one business day.
How is my quality score worked out?
From your last 50 reviewed answers: reviewers' scores count 70%, hidden tasks with known answers 30%. At 80% and up you get first pick of new tasks. You see it on your Work page, and our team sees it when you apply for a role.
How many hours do I need to commit?
None. Set the hours you expect to have each week in your profile so we can plan projects, and work when it suits you.
Do you monitor my screen?
No. We install nothing on your computer and never take screenshots, log keystrokes or track your location. Hourly projects pay for the time a task is open in your browser, measured on our server; your quality score comes from reviewers and known-answer tasks, never from monitoring.
How do I know a message is really from you?
We never ask you for money or for payment details outside your account, and every role is on our site. See trust and safety.
Ready when you are.
Roles open as client projects start. Apply now: your profile and screening test count for every one.
