Subsurface & Reservoir Engineer
About this role
Overview Handshake is looking for subsurface and reservoir engineering professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and reserves reporting to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand subsurface workflows and reservoir engineering practices. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment. Details - This project involves independently producing expert-level analytical work and data outputs using the tools and workflows from your professional practice. You will be asked to complete real work tasks — such as building price forecast models or developing PPA documentation — in a structured, project-based format. - Fully remote with a flexible, asynchronous schedule and no minimum hour requirement; most contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when participating in an active project. - Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available. Qualifications - At least 2 years of professional experience in subsurface engineering, reservoir analysis, or production operations, in roles such as: - Reservoir Engineer or Reservoir Modeler / Petrophysicist - Reserves Engineer (SEC reporting) - Petroleum Production / Well Test Engineer - Production Allocation Analyst - Or equivalent roles in the energy industry - Ability to independently produce work using one or more of the following tools: - Techlog - Avocet - Petrel - ARIES - Ability to independently complete workflows such as: - Reservoir simulation and production forecasting - SEC Oil and Gas Reserves Reporting - Well test analysis and interpretation - Production allocation calculation across working interest owners - Bachelor's degree or higher required - Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and asynchronously.
