According to the listing, the expert will prepare training materials in several formats, such as text, audio, and video. This includes labeling data, reviewing AI responses, and recording clear explanations of trading logic.

Another part of the job focuses on solving issues common in crypto trading. The expert will work on areas such as uneven market liquidity and risks tied to miner extractable value (MEV), both of which affect how trades are carried out.

The opportunity offers full flexibility to work from anywhere. The listed pay rate ranges from $45 to $100 per hour, depending on experience and location.

Sumit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of CoinDCX, said the job opening highlights how AI and crypto are converging. He wrote on X, “X is already the #1 place where CT hangs out. Elon Musk wants to make xAI/ grok the #1 research platform for crypto folks, too?"
