Overview
AfterQuery builds the evaluation and training data that frontier AI labs use to test what their models can and cannot do in real professional work. The team needs licensed architects to write and grade the design and documentation scenarios those evaluations run on, covering everything from schematic design through construction documents. You will lean on your knowledge of building codes, construction documents and design development to judge whether model output reflects how a project actually gets built and permitted. Contributors here are practicing professionals rather than annotators, and the work is credited, reviewed and paid at professional rates.
What You'll Do7
- Write realistic architecture scenarios that move from schematic design all the way through construction documents.
- Produce reference answers that explain the design and code reasoning behind each decision you make.
- Score model responses on both design quality and compliance with building codes.
- Call out designs that look finished but would fail plan review.
- Apply real project judgment when a response is plausible yet not buildable or not permitted.
- Document your reasoning in clear written English so reviewers can follow the logic.
- Match your output to the building types and documentation stages where you have practice experience.
Requirements8
- Professional degree in architecture or an active architecture license.
- At least two years of practice in design or construction documentation.
- Solid command of building codes, construction documents and design development.
- Clear written English suited to explaining design reasoning to a reader.
- Availability of at least 10 hours per week.
- NCARB licensure or active progress toward it preferred.
- Depth in Revit or BIM workflows preferred.
- Experience across more than one building type preferred.
Who Should Apply
Licensed architects or degree-holding practitioners with two or more years in design or construction documentation who can explain code decisions in writing. Candidates with Revit or BIM depth and work across several building types fit best.
Salary Insight
Pay runs from $100 to $125/hr, set by your experience rather than negotiated down after you start, and lands in Stripe weekly. That band sits well above typical contract documentation rates, which reflects the licensed, code-literate judgment the work requires.
