About the role
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.

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.
Qualifications
No prior AI or technical experience is required.
We're Looking For People Who Have:
- At least 1 year 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

- Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
