Krita Specialist - AI Trainer

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for skilled Krita 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 digital painting, concept art, or illustration 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 Krita user who has worked in or around roles like:

• Digital Artist or Illustrator
• Concept Artist or Character Designer

• Digital painting, character design, or concept illustration using Krita
• Annotating or labeling visual assets
• Creating illustrations from style guides or creative briefs
• Reviewing artwork for quality, accuracy, or stylistic consistency

You'll use your experience with Krita to create tool‑related questions and review AI‑generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real‑world illustration and concept art workflows. No prior AI or technical experience is required.

• Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience with Krita
  , whether through professional work or freelance projects.
• A working knowledge of digital illustration concepts and workflows.
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail.
• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines.

• 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.
