A batch of listings this month specify UK-based applicants directly in the title, covering sales, strategy consulting, and data engineering. That is unusual enough to be worth a page of its own.
What the listings actually pay
Across 12 live listings in this category that publish a rate, the median top-of-range is $155 an hour, reaching $200 at the top. These are among the better paid listings currently on the board, and the geographic requirement means you are competing against a much smaller pool than the open listings.

What moves your rate
Every listing below links to the full role with its own requirements and application link. Rates shown are what the listing itself advertises, and listings without a published rate are left out rather than estimated.
How to apply
Every role above links to its own page with the full requirements and a direct application link. Applications are completed on the hiring platform and typically take a few minutes, with a short skills assessment in place of an interview.
Two things are worth doing before you apply. Check whether the role accepts applicants from your country using the eligibility checker, and run the advertised rate through the take-home calculator, because this is contract work and the headline rate is before self-employment tax.
Frequently asked questions
What do AI jobs for uk applicants pay?
Across 12 live listings in this category with published rates, the median top-of-range is $155 an hour and the highest currently reaches $200.
Why do some listings require UK applicants?
Usually because the project needs UK market knowledge, UK regulatory context, or working hours in that timezone. The listing states the requirement in the title.
Can I apply from the UK to non-UK listings?
Yes. Most listings on the board are open globally, and UK applicants are eligible for those as well. The UK-specific ones are an addition rather than a restriction.
Is this contract or employment?
Nearly all of it is contract work, paid hourly for approved hours. That means no benefits and you handle your own taxes, which our take-home calculator accounts for.
Can I do this alongside a full-time job?
Yes, and most people do. The work is asynchronous with no set shifts, so it fits into evenings and weekends without a scheduling conflict.
