For cash compensation, we set standard ranges for all U.S.-based roles based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including geographic location as well as candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Overview

Handshake is recruiting Mathematician Professionals to contribute to an hourly, temporary AI research project—but there’s no AI experience needed. In this program, you’ll leverage your professional experience to evaluate what AI models produce in your field, assess content related to your field of work, and deliver clear, structured feedback that strengthens the model’s understanding of your workplace tasks and language. The Handshake AI opportunity runs year-round, with project opportunities opening periodically across different areas of expertise.

Details

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

• The hours are flexible, with no minimum commitment, but most average 5-20 hrs

• The work includes developing prompts for AI models that reflect your field, and then evaluating responses.

• You’ll learn new skills and contribute to how AI is used in your field

• Your placement into a project will be dependent on project availability—if you apply now and can’t work on this project, more will be available soon.

Qualifications

• You have at least 4 years of professional experience in one or more of the following types of work.

• The examples below reflect the types of real-world responsibilities that you might have had in your role that will give you the context needed to evaluate and train high-quality AI models

  • Mentor others on mathematical techniques.

  • Maintain knowledge in the field by reading professional journals, talking
    with other mathematicians, and attending professional conferences.

  • Develop new principles and new relationships between existing mathematical
    principles to advance mathematical science.

  • Disseminate research by writing reports, publishing papers, or presenting
    at professional conferences.

  • Assemble sets of assumptions, and explore the consequences of each set.

  • Perform computations and apply methods of numerical analysis to data.

  • Address the relationships of quantities, magnitudes, and forms through the
    use of numbers and symbols.

  • Conduct research to extend mathematical knowledge in traditional areas,
    such as algebra, geometry, probability, and logic.

  • Develop mathematical or statistical models of phenomena to be used for
    analysis or for computational simulation.

  • Apply mathematical theories and techniques to the solution of practical
    problems in business, engineering, the sciences, or other fields.

  • Develop computational methods for solving problems that occur in areas of
    science and engineering or that come from applications in business or
    industry.

  • Design, analyze, and decipher encryption systems designed to transmit
    military, political, financial, or law-enforcement-related information in
    code.

You’re able to participate in asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.
