Content Writer & AI Evaluation Specialist - Remote
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery seeks writers who can both produce polished copy and judge model output across language, audio and video projects. The contract runs 40 hours a week for 3 to 6 months, with remote work and pay between $35 and $50 per hour. You will craft prompts, responses and explanatory text that train and test AI systems, then assess those systems for fluency, factuality, creativity and bias. AfterQuery is a YC-backed startup and works with a leading AI partner, so your writing shapes how models handle nuanced language. Strong prompt engineering skill and a background in English, linguistics or computer science will help you succeed.

- 2Draft and edit text for AI training tasks, including prompts and model responses that probe strengths and weaknesses.
- 3Review AI output for fluency, coherence, factual accuracy, creative quality and signs of bias.

Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds a bachelor's degree in English, creative writing, linguistics, computer science or a related field and has at least three years of English content or copywriting work. You also need a clear view of LLM strengths and limits, plus the schedule to work 40 hours a week for 3 to 6 months. The role fits people who can write in several tones and give specific feedback on model output. Candidates who cannot point to prompt engineering, LLM evaluation or bilingual skill from the preferred list often score lower. The job is less suitable for writers who want only creative freedom or who cannot commit to the full contract length.
Salary Insight
The listing sets pay at $35 to $50 per hour. That range sits near the top for contract English content and AI evaluation work, and it often matches writers with 3+ years of experience plus prompt engineering or LLM evaluation background. AfterQuery runs this as a 40-hour-per-week engagement for 3 to 6 months.
