[Hiring] Music Producer - AI Trainer @Handshake

Role Description

Handshake is looking for skilled LMMS 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 beat-making, music composition, or electronic music production to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand music tasks and creative production workflows.

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

Who This Is For

  • Music Producer or Beat Maker
  • Composer or Arranger
  • Sound Designer
• Solid experience with one or more of the following:
  • Beat-making, music composition, or electronic production using LMMS
  • Annotating or labeling audio and music assets
  • Creating music or beats following project briefs or style references
  • Reviewing music for quality, accuracy, or production consistency

What You'll Do

• Use your experience with LMMS to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world music production and beat-making workflows.
• No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with LMMS, whether through professional work or freelance projects
• A working knowledge of music production concepts and electronic composition 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
