Senior Domain Expert — Multi-Discipline AI Research Program

AfterQuery

Evaluation & Quality Contractor
Remote (Global) $135/hr July 24, 2026

Job description

We're building a research cohort of senior domain experts across seven specialist tracks — software/systems engineering, formal methods and computational science, ML inference and GPU kernels, enterprise operations, security, hardware design, and creative technology — to help evaluate how frontier AI models reason about hard, real-world expert-level problems. This is research-and-evaluation work, not production engineering: you'll be defining what "correct" and "excellent" look like on problems you already know deeply.

Candidates must fall into one of the profiles listed below to be considered.

Tracks & Requirements:

  • Senior Software/Systems Engineer
    Domain: Software Engineering
    Experience: 8–12 years
    Education: Bachelor's (Master's preferred)
  • Research Scientist — Formal Methods / Computational Science
    Domain: Science (Math / Physics / Chemistry / Biology)
    Experience: 10+ years
    Education: PhD/Doctorate required
  • ML Research Engineer — Inference & GPU Kernels
    Domain: Machine Learning / AI
    Experience: 6–10 years
    Education: PhD/Doctorate, or Master's with a strong research record
  • Enterprise Operations / Domain Analyst
    Domain: Operations (Supply Chain / Finance / Compliance)
    Experience: 8–12 years
    Education: Bachelor's (professional certifications a plus)
  • Security Engineer — Cryptanalysis / Reverse Engineering
    Domain: Security
    Experience: 6–10 years
    Education: Bachelor's (Master's preferred)
  • Mechanical / Hardware Design Engineer
    Domain: Hardware (CAD / RTL / Robotics)
    Experience: 8–12 years
    Education: Bachelor's (PE license or Master's a plus)
  • Creative Technologist — Audio / Design / Linguistics
    Domain: Media
    Experience: 6–10 years
    Education: Bachelor's (Master's a plus)

Candidates who meet the requirements and provide the requested materials will be prioritized for review. As part of this process, we conduct thorough background checks. Please apply only if you meet these requirements — candidates who meet fewer than 70% of the stated qualifications may be flagged for misrepresenting their professional experience, which could affect eligibility for future project staffing.

Required qualifications

  • Meets the experience and education bar for at least one track in Full Description
  • Currently or recently active in the field — hands-on, not purely academic-adjacent
  • Strong written communication — you'll be authoring technical explanations and structured feedback, not just doing the work itself
  • Comfortable with independent, asynchronous, remote work

Why apply

  • Work directly on frontier AI research problems in your area of deep expertise
  • Fully remote, flexible, asynchronous — fits around existing work
  • Compensation scaled to track and seniority (see below)
