Lifted (Upwork)
Lifted is the subsidiary Upwork launched in August 2025 to run contingent work for large companies. Among its ordinary freelance projects, its SmartRecruiters board posts AI-training work for an enterprise client it does not name: senior engineers and developers who write and score AI tasks (structural, CFD, Lua, Python, code review), people who write questions to stump AI models, bilingual coders who evaluate AI audio answers in JSON, native speakers who write and record for AI, and transcriptionists in many languages. Each project is posted once per country it is open in, and work is contracted through Upwork.
