Occupational Therapist Expert

Licensed occupational therapists to build the functional and daily living 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 licensed occupational therapists as contractors to author and grade the functional scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic OT scenarios across daily living skills, cognition, and adaptive strategies
• Write reference answers with the functional reasoning behind each recommendation
• Grade model output for safety, practicality, and client centered fit
• Flag recommendations that read well but fail in a real home or clinic

Who this is for

• OTR/L with NBCOT certification and an active, unencumbered US license
• 2+ years of clinical practice
• Depth in daily living assessment, adaptive equipment, and functional goals
• You can write clinical reasoning clearly enough for another OT to follow it

Contract and pay

• $70 to $105/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

• Apply at /apply/occupational-therapist-expert. About five minutes. Resume plus a few structured questions.
• Resume review. Every application gets read against a published rubric and gets a decision.
• Written assessment. You may be asked to take a written assessment for further placement.
• Onboarding. Sign the contractor agreement, connect Stripe, and get platform access.
• Project match. You're matched to live work in your specialty, usually within a week of onboarding.
