Your Impact

As an AI Tutor, Computer Science Specialist, you will play a vital role in shaping how advanced AI models understand and communicate complex computing concepts. Leveraging your deep knowledge of algorithms, data structures, systems, and software engineering, you’ll evaluate and improve AI-generated content to ensure technical accuracy, conceptual clarity, and educational value. Your work will directly support the training of large language models (LLMs) used in software development, computer science education, and technical research.

This is a contract remote position with variable time commitments. The services to be provided by the Contractor under this agreement are supplementary and not integral to the Handshake’s primary business operations. The Contractor’s services are distinct and separate from the core business activities of Handshake.

Your Role

  • Use internal tools to review and refine AI-generated responses related to computer science and software engineering.

  • Assess outputs for technical correctness, programming relevance, and clarity in areas such as algorithms, data structures, operating systems, networking, databases, and software design patterns.

  • Curate high-quality datasets used for training and fine-tuning AI models in computing domains.

  • Identify model blind spots, edge cases, and inconsistent or misleading explanations in computer science topics.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional AI teams to improve content quality and knowledge alignment across technical disciplines.

Your Experience

  • PhD or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field.

  • Alternatively, 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering, computer science research, or technical education.

  • Strong understanding of core CS topics, including algorithms, data structures, programming paradigms, and systems fundamentals.

  • Proficiency in at least one major programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust, JavaScript).

  • Strong written communication skills, especially for explaining complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.

  • Ability to critically evaluate technical content and provide detailed, constructive feedback.

  • Comfortable working independently and navigating ambiguity in fast-evolving workflows.

Bonus Expertise

  • Publications in peer-reviewed computer science journals or conferences.

  • Teaching, tutoring, or curriculum development experience in computer science.

  • Experience with competitive programming or contributions to open-source projects.

  • Familiarity with LLMs, prompt engineering, or AI-driven educational tools.

  • Background in human-in-the-loop feedback systems or technical annotation pipelines.

Additional Requirements

  • Available to work evenings or weekends as needed.

  • Comfortable adapting to rapidly changing workflows and AI tools.

  • Personal device must support Windows 10 or macOS Big Sur 11.0 or later.

  • Reliable smartphone access for secure login and multi-factor authentication.

Location & Work Expectations

  • 100% Remote

  • No visa sponsorship available

  • Not hiring in Wyoming or Illinois at this time
