Overview

AfterQuery produces training material that teaches AI models how real production work happens, and this role sits where hands-on AV craft meets model evaluation. You will write technical questions and case studies covering signal flow, lighting design, camera operation and audio mixing, then judge how well a model answers them. Each scenario gets checked against the standards a working crew applies on a live shoot or inside a broadcast control room. The engagement runs remote and asynchronous, so you choose the hours you put in around the projects you accept.

What You'll Do7

  • Write audiovisual questions and case studies that push AI models on signal flow, equipment setup, microphone technique, lighting design, camera operation, mixing, editing and live streaming.
  • Build troubleshooting scenarios from real production failures so a model has to reason through diagnosis instead of recalling facts.
  • Review model responses and score them for technical accuracy against accepted production standards and best practice.
  • Give detailed written feedback that pinpoints where an answer drifts from correct AV procedure and explains why it matters.
  • Calibrate question difficulty with other media production and technical experts so the set stays demanding without becoming unfair.
  • Spot gaps in the question bank and propose new topics that reflect how production crews actually operate.
  • Keep terminology consistent across submissions so reviewers and models work from the same vocabulary.

Requirements8

  • Technical certification or associate degree in audio/video production, broadcast technology or a closely related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Proven background in audio and video production, live event support or broadcast operations, with solid command of audiovisual gear and the workflows around it.
  • Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills, plus close attention to detail.
  • Ability to explain technical decisions in plain language that a reviewer or a model can follow.
  • Several years as an audio/video technician across varied settings such as live events, studio recording, broadcast, corporate AV or post-production.
  • Past work on production teams, technical training or media technology initiatives.
  • Industry certifications such as CTS, Dante or AVIXA, or specialized training in audio engineering, video production or broadcast technology.
  • Exposure to AI or technology-driven media production tools.

Who Should Apply

Working AV technicians, broadcast operators and production engineers who can explain signal flow, microphone choice and lighting setup from lived experience, and who want to test AI models against that knowledge. Several years across live, studio or corporate production helps. CTS or Dante credentials add weight.

Salary Insight

$55.00 per hour is the posted rate. That figure sits above what entry-level AV technicians usually earn and matches experienced freelancers who hold certifications and can write about their craft, not just perform it.
