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
