Education Expert

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring experienced classroom teachers as contractors to author and grade the pedagogy and lesson scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic teaching scenarios from lesson planning through assessment
• Write reference answers with the pedagogical reasoning behind each decision
• Grade model output for instructional quality and age appropriateness
• Flag lessons and advice that read well but would fail in a real classroom

Who this is for

• Teaching license or certification, or an equivalent classroom credential
• 2+ years of classroom teaching experience
• Depth in lesson planning, differentiation, and assessment design
• You can write pedagogical reasoning clearly enough for another teacher to follow it

Contract and pay

• $35 to $70/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.

How our hiring process works

1. Apply at /apply/generalist-teacher-expert. About five minutes. Resume plus a few structured questions.

3. Written assessment. You may be asked to take a written assessment for further placement.
4. Onboarding. Sign the contractor agreement, connect Stripe, and get platform access.
5. Project match. You're matched to live work in your specialty, usually within a week of onboarding.
