Flexible hours

About
Handshake AI

Overview
Handshake is seeking experienced Software Engineers to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional full-time SWE role. You’ll use your real-world software development experience to evaluate AI-generated code and technical content, provide structured feedback, and help improve how AI understands programming tasks, system design, and engineering best practices.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside your primary employment. Please note that this project is invite-only.
Details

• The position is remote and asynchronous - work independently from wherever you are.

• Flexible hours and the ability to work remotely, with no minimum commitment to hours.

• This project involves using your software engineering experience to design job-related coding questions and review AI-generated responses for correctness, efficiency, clarity, and alignment with real-world engineering practices.

• Applicants will be required to pass a coding assessment as part of the selection process.

• Placement into a project will be dependent on project availability.

Qualifications
We’re looking for experienced India-based Software Engineers (Backend, Frontend, Full-Stack, or Systems) who have:

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience (internships excluded)

• Strong coding skills in at least one major language (Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, Go, etc.)

• Experience building and debugging production-level code

• The ability to work independently and follow detailed technical guidelines

• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail

This is not a traditional full-time role. Apply once and, if qualified, you’ll be considered for part-time, project-based work as opportunities become available.
