Overview
Handshake AI is seeking detail-oriented Music Content Analysts (Fellows) to support the development and evaluation of AI systems that process and understand music.

The position is remote and asynchronous - work independently from wherever you are.
Flexible hours and the ability to work remotely, with a commitment of approximately 10 to 20 hours per week.
Project work includes and is not limited to developing domain-specific prompts and evaluating LLM responses.

Why this role
Being remote means this Music Content Analyst - AI Trainer position pays $50/hr regardless of your zip code, opening up Humanities work that used to require living in one of a handful of cities.
Talent pool
We're light on Humanities candidates
We've matched 30 people with a Humanities background against 397 Humanities listings we've tracked, so most go out without one. Set up a profile and we'll consider you for a role like this one.

Common questions
Can I use Handshake if I graduated years ago?
Probably not a good fit. Handshake's AI Fellowship roles target current university students and early talent within about 1-2 years of graduation. Experienced professionals typically find faster approval and better rates on Outlier or Mercor.
Is Handshake itself the employer for AI training roles?
For the AI Fellowship roles specifically, yes, Handshake acts as the employer of record. That's different from the rest of the site, which functions as a job board listing openings for other companies.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
Do task-based AI training roles require an interview?
Most skip a live interview entirely and gate access through an automated assessment or qualification task instead. Where we've confirmed the specific requirement for this listing, it's called out above in What We Know About This Role.
What does Humanities work look like for a Music Content Analyst - AI Trainer?
Tasks here are scoped to Humanities, not generic labeling. As a Music Content Analyst - AI Trainer, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Humanities) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Humanities background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
AI Training is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $50/hr, an hourly rate. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Handshake's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Are Handshake AI training listings internships?
Some are, some aren't. Handshake lists both standard internships and separate "AI Trainer" fellowships. Check the job description for "1099" or "Contract" language: that signals a freelance role, not W-2 employment.
