Does it pay? unclear

The details

As published: not published (postings say project pay rates vary by project, scope, skillset and location, and pay is shared when you are matched to a project) - Open in
- US, GB, CA
Scale's careers page posts separate HFC Fellow roles for the US, UK and Canada. You need work authorization in your country of residence; no visa sponsorship. - Company
- Human Frontier Collective, run by Scale AI, Inc. (separate from Outlier and Remotasks)
- Backers
- Meta took a 49% stake in Scale AI for $14.3B in June 2025, valuing Scale at $29B (Reuters via Business Recorder).
What we couldn’t confirm
A UK posting copied on a third-party job site (jobwebsite.co.uk) shows '$80–$100/hr', but Scale's own UK postings say pay varies, so no figure is recorded. The UK eligibility comes from a posting read through Exa search (scale.com/careers/4620719005 and /4661647005), not plain fetching. The single Trustpilot review for scale.com describes a pay-to-join job offer, which looks like impersonation and is unrelated to HFC. No physical-AI or egocentric contributor sign-up run by Scale itself was found.
We are not affiliated with Human Frontier Collective (Scale AI). Pay and availability change; confirm on the official site before you start. Never pay to get work.
