Pathwize GmbH, Bonn, Germany. Payouts in euros, invoices and tax documents included.

Pathwize is a platform where domain experts do paid online work for AI companies. You work remotely, your time is tracked automatically, and you are paid in euros with an invoice.

If you have a background in physics, your knowledge is the point. The work asks you to read, judge and correct, not to guess.

You start with a short unpaid qualification test on the customer's real data. The business decides who joins. After that, every hour of real work is paid.

What physicists online work looks like

Tasks vary by customer, so the list changes. The types of work are consistent.

You might review technical documents for accuracy, classify images or diagrams, or evaluate answers a model gave to physics questions. Some tasks ask you to write or check expert content.

The common thread is sound reasoning. You flag what is wrong, explain why, and judge whether an answer holds up.

Pay and how it works

Current annotation tasks pay 20 to 24 euros per hour. Specialist evaluation and authoring tasks are priced per task.

Time on annotation work is tracked automatically while you work. Payouts are in euros, with an invoice for your records.

The qualification test is unpaid and can be retaken. The calibration round after it is unpaid too. From there, real work is paid.

Fits around your schedule

This is remote part time remote work for physicists. There is no fixed shift to clock in to.

You pick up tasks when you have time, between lectures, lab work or a day job. It can sit alongside a PhD or a teaching role.

Many people use it as side income rather than a full role. You decide how much you take on.
