Overview
AfterQuery brings credentialed actuaries into the loop on frontier AI training, and this role sits at the core of that work. You review machine-generated actuarial output for technical soundness, then build worked examples of pricing, reserving and risk modeling so models learn the real method instead of an approximation. Anyone holding an SOA or CAS credential, or well into the exam track, can contribute the domain judgment these systems still lack. Schedules stay open: the engagement runs remote and async, with hours billed at $115.
What You'll Do7
- Read AI-produced actuarial analysis and judge whether the math, assumptions and conclusions hold up.
- Record step-by-step demonstrations of pricing, reserving and risk modeling workflows that a model can learn from.
- Score competing model responses against standard actuarial practice and note where each one falls short.
- Tag and rank outputs so weaker reasoning on mortality, morbidity, claims or loss trends gets flagged.
- Explain in writing why a given assumption or method departs from accepted actuarial standards.
- Work through assigned evaluation batches on your own schedule and return them within the agreed window.
- Apply the conventions of your practice area, whether that is life, health, P&C or pensions, when judging output quality.
Requirements7
- An SOA or CAS credential (ASA, FSA, ACAS or FCAS), or at least three actuarial exams passed with steady progress underway.
- Two or more years of professional actuarial work in pricing, reserving, valuation or modeling.
- Clear written English, since most of the output here is a written judgment call on someone else's reasoning.
- Comfort reading technical arguments and spotting the point where an assumption stops being defensible.
- FSA or FCAS designation preferred.
- Background spanning life, health, P&C or pensions is a plus.
- Hands-on fluency with modeling tools such as Axis, Prophet, R or Python preferred.
Who Should Apply
Actuaries with an ASA, FSA, ACAS or FCAS credential, or several exams behind them, who want paid work that puts their pricing and reserving judgment in front of AI labs. Practitioners from life, health, P&C or pensions all fit, especially those who already model in Axis, Prophet, R or Python.
Salary Insight
The rate is $115 per hour, paid for time spent reviewing and writing expert demonstrations. That figure reflects the credential the work demands: it is set for actuaries who already hold or nearly hold a designation, not for candidates still building exam progress. Weekly hours are not fixed, so total earnings depend on how much evaluation work you take on.
