Job description

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We are hiring explosives and energetic materials experts as contractors to help make AI models safer in their domain.

What You Will Actually Do

• Author prompts and scenarios that probe the boundary between safe and unsafe requests in your field
• Review and classify prompts written by other experts as safe or unsafe
• Write the domain analysis behind each judgment: why a prompt is acceptable, or where it crosses a line and why
• Revise your work based on structured reviewer feedback

Who This Is For

• Master's degree or higher in chemical engineering, chemistry, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline, with expertise in explosives or energetic materials
• Citizen of a Five Eyes country: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand
• Physically located in one of those five countries while doing the work
• Experience in explosives engineering, energetic materials research, ordnance, blasting, or defense research is a plus, not a requirement

Contract and pay

• $150/hr equivalent, paid at $85 per approved task
• Fully remote and asynchronous, on your own schedule
• Contract engagement, no sponsorship available
