Audio Video Technician Expert - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery, a YC-backed startup, needs audio/video technicians to build and review challenges that test AI models on production principles. You will write questions about signal flow, mic placement, lighting, camera work, mixing, editing, troubleshooting and live streaming. You also score model answers and give detailed feedback so the AI meets real-world audiovisual standards. The contract runs remote and asynchronous at about 15 hours each week.
What You'll Do5
- 1Create high-quality audiovisual questions and case studies that stretch AI models on signal flow, equipment setup, microphone techniques, lighting design, camera operation, mixing, editing, troubleshooting, and live streaming.
- 2Evaluate model answers and confirm they match audiovisual production standards and best practices.
- 3Provide detailed feedback on technical accuracy and suggest corrections when model output misses the mark.
- 4Work alongside media production and technical experts to adjust question difficulty and keep content challenging and educational.
- 5Design scenarios that mirror real equipment operation and production workflows.
Requirements8
- 1Technical certification or associate degree in Audio/Video Production, Broadcast Technology, or a related field, or comparable professional experience.
- 2Demonstrated work in audio and video production, live event support, or broadcast operations.
- 3Strong grasp of audiovisual equipment and workflows.
- 4Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills with close attention to detail.
- 5Years of audio/video technician experience across settings such as live events, studio recording, broadcast, corporate AV, and post-production.
- 6Background on production teams, technical training, or media technology projects.
- 7Industry certifications such as CTS, Dante, or Avixa, or specialized training in audio engineering, video production, or broadcast technology.
- 8Familiarity with AI or technology-driven media production applications.
Who Should Apply
The ideal applicant brings hands-on audio and video production experience, across live events, studio recording, broadcast, corporate AV, or post-production. A certification or degree in Audio/Video Production, Broadcast Technology, or a related field helps, though equivalent work history can take its place. You should write clear technical explanations, spot errors in equipment setup or signal flow, and hold a high bar for accuracy. This role suits someone who can commit about 15 hours each week and work without direct supervision. People who lack direct AV production experience or cannot explain their reasoning in writing tend to score low, and candidates also get rejected when feedback stays vague instead of citing specific standards, gear, or workflow steps.
Salary Insight
The listing pays $35.00 to $75.00 per hour. That span fits technicians with different depth, from solid production hands to specialists with broadcast, Dante, or CTS credentials. The contract includes a 15-hour weekly commitment and pays by the hour, not by project.

Application Tip
In your application, name the exact AV areas you have worked in, such as signal flow, Dante networks, lighting design, or live streaming, and tie each to a concrete project. Include any CTS, Avixa, or Dante certification and mention the production setting, for example broadcast, corporate AV, or studio recording. Since the role asks for written communication, a short sample of how you would critique a flawed model answer can raise your fit score.
