Overview
Handshake AI hires experienced technical writers and documentation specialists for project-based work that improves how AI models handle technical writing. The role differs from a traditional full-time documentation job: you use your professional editing and content creation background to evaluate AI-generated content, checking accuracy, documentation structure, clarity, consistency, voice, and tone while creating expert training data. Prior AI experience does not matter. Projects use a flexible, asynchronous schedule, and most contributors log about 5 to 20 hours per week when a project is active. Placement depends on current project needs.
What You'll Do8
- Review AI-generated technical content for accuracy, clarity, structure, and relevance.
- Create expert-level training data from your own professional writing and documentation experience.
- Edit and refine technical drafts so voice, tone, and terminology stay consistent for the target audience.
- Compare AI responses against professional writing standards and note gaps in logic, formatting, or technical detail.
- Write clear feedback that explains why a response meets or misses documentation quality markers.
- Apply detailed written guidelines to each evaluation task and keep decisions aligned with project instructions.
- Handle sensitive or proprietary information with care and discretion.
- Track your work across an asynchronous schedule and meet deadlines for active projects.
Requirements6
- 2+ years as a technical writer, product marketer, or in a related writing or editorial position.
- A portfolio or work history that shows original technical content, draft editing, and voice and tone adjustment for different audiences.
- Strong written communication with close attention to detail.
- Comfort working on your own while following detailed written guidelines.
- Sound judgment and a professional approach to confidential or proprietary material.
- No prior AI or technical background required.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate has at least 2 years in technical writing, product marketing, or a similar editorial role and can point to original technical content and editing work that shows strong control of voice and tone. The role fits someone who wants project-based, asynchronous work alongside a main job and can follow detailed written guidelines without close oversight. People seeking a permanent full-time technical writing position or a set weekly schedule will find this a poor match. Candidates often score low when their application lacks concrete editing samples or when they treat the work as general content writing rather than expert evaluation against documentation standards.
Salary Insight
Pay goes up to $100.00 per hour. That rate sits at the high end for project-based AI training and fellowship work, and it fits contributors with deep technical writing or editorial experience. Since most people work about 5 to 20 hours per week on active projects, total earnings depend on how many hours a project offers and how long it runs.
