Operations Research & Applied Mathematics Specialist

AfterQuery

AI Expert - Mathematics Contractor
Remote (Global) $50/hr November 11, 2026

Job description

Use your hands-on experience in operations research, applied mathematics or a related field to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work.

AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We're looking for operations research and applied mathematics specialists who work with real operational data: the systems you model and optimize, from supply chains and scheduling to physical processes.

Requirements

  • Technical: Working knowledge of Python (Gurobi or similar solvers are a plus).

Preferred

  • Background: a Master's or PhD with industry optimization or modeling work.
  • Hands-on work with real data, rather than purely theoretical work.

Contract and pay

Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on.

All accepted experts undergo standard background and identity verification.

Required qualifications

  • Hands-on experience working with your own real operational data in Python or a similar language
  • Able to write clearly about technical work in your field
  • Able to work independently and manage your own time. This is flexible, task-based work with no fixed weekly schedule

Why apply

  • $300 per approved task (roughly $50 per hour)
  • Fully remote and flexible, with no fixed weekly schedule
