📋 Description
- • Are you a talented Digital Artist with a passion for GIMP and a keen eye for visual detail? Handshake Technologies, Inc. is seeking skilled GIMP users like you to contribute to cutting-edge AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This unique opportunity allows you to leverage your existing expertise in digital art creation, graphic design, or image compositing to directly influence the development of artificial intelligence.
- • This is not a conventional full-time employment role, but rather an ongoing, project-based engagement. It's designed to be taken on alongside your existing commitments, offering unparalleled flexibility for those who wish to contribute their specialized skills without a traditional work schedule. Whether you're a seasoned professional, a freelancer, or someone looking to supplement their income with meaningful work, this role offers a chance to be part of the AI revolution.
- • As a Digital Artist - AI Trainer, your primary responsibility will be to evaluate AI-generated content. You will use your hands-on experience with GIMP to assess the quality, accuracy, and relevance of AI outputs. This involves providing critical feedback that helps AI models better understand complex visual tasks and the nuances of 2D art workflows. Your insights will be invaluable in training AI to produce more sophisticated and contextually appropriate digital art and graphic design assets.
- • The role requires you to create tool-related questions that probe the capabilities of AI systems. You will then review the AI's responses, ensuring they align with real-world digital art creation and graphic design practices. This process is crucial for bridging the gap between AI capabilities and the practical demands of creative professionals.
- • No prior AI or specialized technical experience is necessary. Handshake Technologies is looking for individuals who possess a strong foundation in digital art and graphic design principles, coupled with practical experience using GIMP. Your ability to articulate feedback clearly and your meticulous attention to detail are paramount.
- • This project-based opportunity is ideal for individuals who have experience in or have worked around roles such as: Digital Artist, Graphic Designer, Visual Communications Specialist, Print Production Artist, Photo Editor, or Web Designer. If you have a background in creating digital art, designing assets for various media, annotating or labeling digital images, or reviewing artwork for quality and consistency, your skills are highly sought after.
- • You will be expected to work independently, meticulously following written guidelines to ensure the consistency and quality of your feedback. This autonomy allows you to manage your workload effectively and contribute on your own terms.
- • The work is fully remote, meaning you can contribute from anywhere in the USA, provided you have a reliable internet connection and a functional desktop or laptop computer. This eliminates geographical barriers and offers maximum convenience.
- • The schedule is flexible and asynchronous. There is no minimum hour requirement, making it perfect for those seeking supplementary work or a project that fits around other obligations. Many contributors find they can comfortably dedicate approximately 5–20 hours per week when actively engaged in a project.
- • The Handshake AI program operates year-round, with various projects becoming available periodically. Your placement into a project will depend on current needs and your specific area of expertise. This ongoing nature ensures continuous opportunities to contribute and be considered for future projects as they arise.
- • For eligible F-1 students, there may be opportunities through CPT or OPT. It is essential to consult with your Designated School Official to determine your eligibility, as specific course requirements for CPT may affect suitability. Please note that STEM OPT is not supported for this program.
- • The application process is straightforward: create a Handshake account, upload your resume, verify your identity, get matched to relevant projects, and begin contributing. This streamlined process ensures you can start making an impact quickly.
