Opportunity Overview:

Handshake is looking for skilled Inkscape users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with vector design, logo creation, or print and web graphics to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand visual tasks and creative workflows.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

Who This Is For:

This is a good fit if you're an experienced Inkscape user who has worked in or around roles like:

• Graphic Designer or Visual Designer

• Brand Designer or UI Designer

• Print or Web Designer

You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:

• Vector illustration, logo design, or icon creation using Inkscape

• Annotating or labeling graphic design assets

• Creating design assets from structured briefs or brand guidelines

• Reviewing vector graphics for quality, precision, or design consistency

What You'll Do:

You'll use your experience with Inkscape to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world graphic design and brand identity workflows.

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications:

We're looking for people who have:

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with Inkscape, whether through professional work or freelance projects.

• A working knowledge of vector design concepts and workflows

• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail

• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines

Work Model and Project Details:

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)

• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer

• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project

• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available

Application Process

• Create a Handshake account

• Upload your resume and verify your identity

• Get matched and onboarded into relevant projects

• Start working and earning
