Overview
Handshake is seeking experienced professionals to contribute high-quality, real-world professional documents to support AI research. Earn up to $30,000 by contributing documents that you own or are authorized to share. This is not a traditional consulting, legal, finance, software engineering, or data science role. Instead, you'll help build high-quality datasets that improve how AI understands real-world business, technical, legal, and analytical work.
Who This Is For
We're looking for candidates with:
F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible for projects on Handshake AI. Work with your Designated School Official to determine your eligibility. If your school requires a CPT course, Handshake AI may not meet your school's requirements. STEM OPT is not supported. See our Help Center article for more information on what types of work authorizations are supported on Handshake AI.
