Physical Therapist Expert

Licensed physical therapists to build the rehab and movement 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 physical therapists as contractors to author and grade the rehabilitation scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic rehab scenarios from evaluation through progression and discharge
• Write reference answers with the clinical reasoning behind each progression decision
• Grade model output for safety, contraindications, and evidence based practice
• Flag exercise advice that reads well but would harm a real patient

Who this is for

• DPT or equivalent with an active, unencumbered US PT license
• 2+ years of clinical practice
• Depth in orthopedic, neurologic, or acute care rehab
• You can write clinical reasoning clearly enough for another PT 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/physical-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.
