Overview

Handshake is recruiting exceptional Machine Learning master's graduates to join our AI research community. This program brings subject-matter experts together to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) within specialized domains and subdomains. The Handshake AI Fellowship program runs year-round, though project availability will vary by domain.

Details
• The program runs year-round. Once part of the MOVE program, you will be matched to collaborative projects with labs based on your background and area of expertise.
• Project work includes developing and answering Machine Learning prompts and evaluating responses from Large Language Models for accuracy.
• The position is remote and asynchronous - work independently from wherever you are.
• Flexible hours, ranging from 10 to 15 hours per week.
• Learn new skills while contributing to the changing world of AI across various disciplines.
• Placement into a project will be dependent on project availability.

Qualifications
• Master's graduates in machine learning
• Able to participate in primarily asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.
• Believe your expertise can outmatch current AI systems in understanding and explaining key concepts in your field.

This program is open to U.S.-based doctoral students, candidates, and recent graduates with valid work or training authorization (e.g., F-1/OPT, J-1, H-1B).* Participants are responsible for ensuring compliance with their visa conditions and confirming eligibility with their program or visa sponsor prior to applying.
• At this time, we are unable to accommodate candidates on STEM OPT who require an i-983. Fellows with already approved i-983s, as well as those on pre-grad OPT, CPT, J-1, or H-1B, are not impacted. This position may be subject to change in the future.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
