Machine Learning Research Expert

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring machine learning researchers as contractors to author and solve the analysis problems those evaluations run on, drawn from your own research: experiment design, ablations, evaluation and model behavior. This role is for researchers with hands-on ML research experience. We're not looking for ML engineers focused on deployment, data engineers or data annotators. Fully remote and async, with no fixed hours.

Required qualifications

• Master's or PhD in computer science, statistics, mathematics or a related field
• 3+ years of full-time ML research after your degree (a postdoc counts, PhD years don't)
• Hands-on experience designing experiments, running ablations or evaluating models
• Strong Python and a deep learning framework such as PyTorch or JAX
• Able to commit at least 10 hours per week

Why apply

• Work stays in your specialty and is judged on research judgment, not volume
• Set your own hours and scale up or down week to week
• Weekly pay via Stripe
• Your judgment shapes how the next generation of AI handles machine learning research
