QGIS Expert - Remote Part-Time Fellowship
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI hires people with hands-on QGIS experience for hourly contract work that supports model research. The role centers on reviewing AI output tied to spatial data analysis, environmental mapping, and GIS tasks, then giving feedback that teaches models how those workflows work in practice. You choose your hours and work on your own schedule from any location, with no minimum time commitment. Project tasks range from writing prompts specific to geospatial work to scoring LLM responses. Placement depends on which projects are open when you apply.
What You'll Do8
- 1Review AI-generated answers and proposals that involve QGIS or geographic information systems.
- 2Write prompts that test how well a model handles spatial data tasks and mapping questions.
- 3Score model responses for accuracy, reasoning, and relevance to GIS workflows.
- 4Provide written feedback that points out errors in geospatial analysis or environmental mapping.
- 5Compare model output against accepted practices in spatial data handling.
- 6Flag gaps where a model misreads coordinate systems, layers, or map projections.
- 7Work through project queues on a self-set schedule and meet agreed deadlines.
- 8Send written updates to AI research teams when questions arise.
Requirements4
- 1At least one year of hands-on experience with QGIS.
- 2Familiarity with other GIS or spatial data tools beyond QGIS.
- 3Comfort working with AI research teams on a flexible schedule.
- 4Skill in reviewing model output and writing clear feedback.
Who Should Apply
Candidates who fit best bring at least a year of real QGIS use, along with exposure to other GIS or spatial data tools. They enjoy judging model output, writing clear critiques, and setting their own hours across a project timeline. People who need a fixed schedule, live team interaction, or a permanent role will find this contract format a poor match. Applications often score low when candidates list QGIS as a class topic rather than paid or project experience. Another common miss is failing to show any prior work with AI evaluation, prompt writing, or written feedback for technical outputs.
Salary Insight
The listing advertises up to $125.00 per hour for this fellowship. Rates in project-based AI training vary with expertise and project scope, and this upper bound signals demand for candidates who can evaluate GIS work with confidence.
