About the role
From AfterQuery’s listing.
Pay: $153/hour
Structural engineers to build the analysis and design scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.
AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring structural engineers as contractors to author and grade the analysis and design scenarios those evaluations run on.
What you'll actually do
- Author realistic structural scenarios, from load analysis through connection design
- Write reference answers with the code and load path reasoning behind each decision
- Grade model output for structural soundness and code compliance
- Flag designs that read plausible but would be unsafe or unbuildable
Who this is for
- Engineers with a degree in civil or structural engineering
- Practitioners with at least 2 years of structural design or analysis experience
- Engineers with depth in codes such as ASCE 7, ACI, or AISC
- Clear writers who can document the reasoning behind a structural decision
Contract and pay
- $110 to $195/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
- Fully remote, fully async. No fixed hours.
- Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
- No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
- Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.
