Expert network · RL-environment fellowship
Fleet AI
Fleet AI (fleetai.com) builds reinforcement-learning environments that replicate enterprise software like Salesforce and Excel so frontier labs can train computer-use agents. Its own careers list (read 8 Nov 2026) carries one remote contract engagement for experts who build the tasks, reference work and grading criteria those agents train on: US attorneys and senior paralegals at $150 to $200/hr (a mechanical engineering engagement at $75 to $150/hr, open worldwide, was on it until at least 30 Oct 2026 and is gone). Third-party job boards also carry undated Fleet Fellowship listings at $50/hr for generalists and $80 to $200/hr for domain experts providing RLHF, evaluation, writing, and demonstration input. For a deeper look at what RLHF work actually involves, see this guide to AI agent training with human feedback on O-mega.ai, a site run by the same team as AITraining.jobs. Backed by Sequoia, Menlo Ventures, and SV Angel, the company reached roughly $60M annualized revenue in 2026.
Platform-stated
Is Fleet AI legit?
Researched Nov 2026 · 13 sourcesMostly. Fleet AI is a real, venture-backed company (backed by Sequoia, Menlo Ventures and SV Angel) and its one open contract role states hourly pay, but it is young and contractors hired through a partner reported unpaid work in 2026. Contract work of at least 20 hours a week with an unpaid legal test, and pay has gone wrong before: one reviewer says half their hours went unpaid, and in August 2026 contractors hired through a staffing partner reported months unpaid. It pays $150–$200/hr on its contract engagement (legal, US only) (platform-stated).
Listed in our live directory
Fleet AI, Inc. (fleetai.com) builds training environments where AI agents practice real work and are graded on it, for AI labs. Founder and CEO Nicolai Ouporov started it in 2024. Its terms say it is registered in Florida; its careers page puts HQ in San Francisco, with a New York office. Sacra reports a $15M seed and a $50M+ round near $750M in talks (April 2026); RuntimeWire (June 2026, unnamed sources) says $45M at $725M closed. Neither is announced.
Its one open contract role, Legal Specialist (US only), pays $150 to $200 an hour for at least 20 hours a week (read 8 Nov 2026); a Mechanical Engineering Specialist role at $75 to $150 was on its list until late October and is gone. Fleet's careers site code says payments are issued through Deel. The posting gives no pay schedule.
Trustpilot 2.9/5 (2 reviews). Read November 2026.
By engagement: its one open contract engagement, legal work, is for the US only, and Fleet can't sponsor work authorization (its posting, read 8 Nov 2026).
We found no reports of scams using Fleet's name. Apply only through fleetai.com/careers, where the one contract role on 8 November 2026 was legal (US only). Job boards still list a $50/hr generalist Fleet Fellow role that is no longer on Fleet's site. A different company, My Fleet AI, has its own Glassdoor reviews. Never pay to get work.
What people praise
- The posting states the hourly range up front and says scope, deliverables, fees and an end date are agreed in writing before work begins, and so are any extensions.
- The legal role reimburses reasonable AI tool subscriptions, pays higher rates for consistently strong, high-volume work, and per-task bonuses for especially difficult, high-quality tasks.
- Its About page names the CEO and lists Sequoia Capital, Menlo Ventures and SV Angel as backers.
What people complain about
- A worker who quit after 11 days says Fleet did not pay half of their working hours (1 star, posted 6 Sep 2026). The profile is unclaimed and shows no reply from Fleet.
- Another reviewer says Fleet makes you take a long assessment and does not look at it, and calls it a scam site (1 star, posted 18 Jun 2026). It is one anonymous review.
- The legal role's selection step is an unpaid online assessment (up to 30 minutes in the posting as updated on 4 Nov 2026; up to 90 when read on 29 Oct), with only an optional call before onboarding.
- Fleet's published terms date from 16 September 2023 and cover its usefleet.ai product, so the terms of a contractor engagement are not published on its site.
What has gone wrong
- August 2026. On 26 August 2026 aitrainer.work reported, from contractors' Reddit posts, that Fleet cut about 80% of its generalist contractors on 25 August without notice, and that contractors hired through Verita AI, a staffing partner, had gone unpaid since mid-June. Fleet reportedly says Verita was responsible for paying them. Fleet has not commented publicly.
Best for: US-based attorneys or senior paralegals who can write clear reference work, review AI answers and give 20+ hours a week to project-based contracts. Not for: Anyone who cannot give 20 hours a week, expects pay for screening work, or lives outside the US (its one open role is US only, with no work-authorization sponsorship).
Honest catches
- Pay here is platform-stated, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.

What Fleet AI pays
Platform-stated · as of 2026-11-08Researched rate card, platform-stated, as of 2026-11-08

How to get started on Fleet AI
Researched Nov 2026Apply with the form on Fleet's contract role at fleetai.com/careers (your name, email, LinkedIn, a resume as a PDF under 10 MB and the role's screening questions), pass its screening (on the legal role, the one open on 8 November 2026, a short, unpaid online assessment of up to 30 minutes answering legal questions), then onboard and agree each engagement's scope, deliverables, fees and end date before work starts, at a minimum of 20 hours a week.
Who can join
- For the legal role: US legal practice as an attorney or senior paralegal, with substantive research, drafting, or document review. Bar admission is a plus, not a requirement. The role is for the United States only, and Fleet can't sponsor work authorization.
- Time for a remote contract of at least 20 hours a week: the legal role states a minimum of 20 hours per week, and its form asks how many hours a week you can commit through 30 November and over the next months.
- Clear writing about your reasoning. The legal role asks that you can explain why a conclusion holds, where the evidence falls short, and why an error matters, in clear legal writing grounded in the facts and jurisdiction.
Step by step
- 1
Find its contract role
Fleet's careers page lists its contract engagements for experts beside its own staff roles. On 8 November 2026 there was one: Legal Specialist (Attorney or Paralegal), US only, with applications open through March 1, 2027. A Mechanical Engineering Specialist engagement, open worldwide, was listed until at least 30 October and is gone.
- 2
Fill in the form on the role's page
Give your full name, email and LinkedIn profile, upload your resume as a PDF under 10 MB, and answer the role's screening questions. The legal form asks your country of residence, and also whether you are licensed to practice law, which best describes your current legal role, your years of post-JD legal experience, your primary practice area, and the hours a week you can commit over the coming months.
- 3
Legal role: the online assessment
Complete a short, unpaid online assessment (up to 30 minutes) answering legal questions. Instructions are given before you start. Fleet's form can email you a link to start your assessment as soon as it has your application, so check your inbox and spam. An optional quick call follows if you have questions.
- 4
Onboarding and the engagement's terms
Scope, deliverables, fees, and an end date are agreed in writing before work starts, and so are any extensions. Work begins as soon as you're onboarded, and a Fleet project contact answers scoping questions and reviews your deliverables.
- 5
Do the work
Legal projects set the practice area, jurisdiction, outputs and acceptance criteria up front, and can ask for a legal assignment with a case file and supporting documents, a reference memo, brief or diligence report that answers it, grading criteria tied to the case file and the governing law, and reviews of AI-generated work that flag errors in reasoning, facts, citations, or conclusions.
An online legal assessment
Fleet's legal role asks for a short, unpaid online assessment (up to 30 minutes in the posting as updated on 4 November 2026; up to 90 minutes when we read it on 30 October) answering legal questions, with instructions before you start and an optional quick call if you have questions. Fleet's mechanical engineering role, while it was open, screened with a conversation and a take-home exercise of up to three hours.
Format
An online assessment of up to 30 minutes answering legal questions, unpaid. Instructions are given before you start.
How to prepare
- Read the role's own page first: its pay, hours, location and screening are all stated there.
- Set aside the full 30 minutes before you open the assessment, and read the instructions first.
- Show your reasoning, not just the answer: the legal role looks for people who can explain why a conclusion holds, where the evidence falls short, and why an error matters.
Why people get rejected
- Living outside the United States: the legal role is US only, and Fleet can't sponsor work authorization.
- Not having at least 20 hours a week: the role states that minimum.
- No substantive legal work behind your answers: the role asks for US legal practice as an attorney or senior paralegal, with research, drafting, or document review.
Fleet publishes no review time. Work begins as soon as you're onboarded, and the legal role's applications are open through March 1, 2027.
Each engagement's fees are agreed before it starts. The legal role pays $150 to $200 USD per hour, with higher rates for consistently strong, high-volume work, per-task bonuses for especially difficult, high-quality tasks, and reasonable AI tool subscriptions reimbursed. Fleet's careers site says payments are issued through Deel; the posting names no pay schedule.
Tips to get accepted
- Apply on Fleet's own careers page: job boards still list a $50/hr generalist Fleet Fellow role that is no longer on Fleet's site.
- Have your resume as a PDF under 10 MB: the form takes no other format.
- If the form says it emailed you a link, open it: Fleet sends a secure link to finish an application it could not submit, or to start your assessment.
- Get the scope, deliverables, fees and end date in writing before you start, and any extension too: the posting says they are agreed before work begins.
- On the legal role, keep receipts for the AI tools you use for the work: reasonable AI tool subscriptions are reimbursed.
What isn't public
- Fleet publishes no review time, acceptance rate or reason for a rejection.
- Its posting names no pay schedule (its careers site says payments go through Deel), and its contractor terms are not published: the terms on its site date from 16 September 2023 and cover its usefleet.ai product.
- Its roles move: the mechanical engineering role's starting rate rose from $60 to $100 an hour on 29 October 2026 to $75 to $125 on 30 October, and by 8 November the role was gone; the legal assessment went from up to 90 minutes (read 30 October) to up to 30 (the posting as updated on 4 November).
- We found only two worker reviews of Fleet (Trustpilot, 2.9 out of 5, read 8 November 2026), both 1 star, and one news report of unpaid contractors, so its record of paying contractors is thin.
