Overview
AfterQuery contracts primary education teachers to craft elementary classroom scenarios that frontier AI labs rely on to evaluate model judgment. You'll write scenarios covering planning through assessment, produce reference answers that explain developmental reasoning, and review model output for age appropriateness and instructional accuracy. The role is remote and async, with a commitment of at least 10 hours per week and pay ranging from $35 to $65 per hour via Stripe. Teachers with training in structured literacy or the science of reading bring a strong edge, as do those who have taught multiple primary grades.

Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds a primary education teaching license and has spent at least two years teaching early grades. They bring depth in early literacy and numeracy, and they can explain their instructional choices in clear writing. Training in structured literacy or the science of reading gives them a strong advantage, as does experience teaching multiple primary grades or leading a team. This role is less suitable for teachers who lack a license or endorsement, or who cannot commit 10 hours per week. Candidates often get rejected when their written English is unclear or when they cannot articulate the developmental reasoning behind classroom activities.
Salary Insight
Compensation runs from $35 to $65 per hour, with payments made through Stripe. The range aligns with what licensed primary teachers with expertise in early literacy and numeracy can earn in contract roles that support AI development, and the top end often goes to those with structured literacy training or mentor experience.
