Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for skilled Godot 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 2D and 3D game development, GDScript, or interactive media to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand game development tasks and engine workflows.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

Who This Is For

This is a good fit if you're an experienced Godot user who has worked in or around roles like:

• Indie Developer or Game Designer

• Game Developer or Interactive Media Developer

• Software Engineer or Computer Science graduate with a game development focus

You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:

• 2D or 3D game development, GDScript, or scene management using Godot

• Game design, mechanics prototyping, or interactive media workflows

• Annotating or labeling game assets and development outputs

• Reviewing game builds for accuracy, performance, or design consistency

What You'll Do

You'll use your experience with Godot to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world indie game development and engine workflows.

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

We're looking for people who have:

• At least 3+ years of hands-on experience with Godot, whether through professional work or freelance projects

• A working knowledge of game development concepts, GDScript, and engine workflows

• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail

• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines

Work Model and Project Details

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)

• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer

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

• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available

Application Process

• Create a Handshake account

• Upload your resume and verify your identity

• Get matched and onboarded into relevant projects

• Start working and earning
