Overview

Handshake AI invites drilling and completions specialists to join an ongoing AI research fellowship. The work centers on evaluating AI-generated answers about drilling operations, well planning, and energy data systems, then giving feedback that sharpens how models handle those topics. Contributors use their own field experience and daily tools to build expert training data. Hours are remote and self-scheduled, with no minimum weekly commitment. Most active contributors log about 5 to 20 hours per week.

What You'll Do8

  • Review AI-generated responses about drilling and completions for technical accuracy and relevance.
  • Build expert training examples from your own field experience and daily workflows.
  • Flag errors, omissions, or weak reasoning in model answers about well planning and energy operations.
  • Use tools such as WellView, SAP, ComboCurve, or AVEVA PI to verify claims and ground feedback in real data.
  • Write clear critiques that explain why an answer fails or succeeds from an operator's point of view.
  • Partner with AI research teams on an asynchronous schedule, sharing feedback when project tasks arrive.
  • Document examples of correct drilling and completions practices to improve future model outputs.
  • Track project instructions and submit evaluations within agreed timelines.

Requirements6

  • At least 2 years of professional experience in drilling, completions, or related energy operations.
  • Background as a Drilling Engineer, Completions Engineer, Well Cost Analyst, Drilling Superintendent, or equivalent energy role.
  • Hands-on use of one or more tools: WellView, SAP, ComboCurve, or AVEVA PI.
  • Strong written communication skills with a sharp eye for technical detail.
  • Ability to work on your own schedule and coordinate with AI research teams in writing.
  • You can apply without prior AI experience.

Who Should Apply

You fit if you have spent at least two years in drilling, completions, or adjacent energy operations and can point to daily use of WellView, SAP, ComboCurve, or AVEVA PI. The role rewards people who write with precision, catch technical errors, and work alone on an asynchronous schedule. Candidates with only classroom knowledge or no hands-on tool experience tend to score lower. The project also is not a fit for anyone seeking a fixed full-time schedule or steady guaranteed hours, since placement depends on active project needs. A common rejection reason is feedback that stays vague and lacks specific drilling or completions detail, or failing to connect your tool experience to real operational decisions.

Salary Insight

Pay reaches up to $85.00 per hour. That rate sits at the high end for project-based AI evaluation work and matches contributors with at least two years of hands-on drilling or completions experience and direct tool use. The source does not state a lower bound, so actual hourly offers may vary by project and background.
