Overview
AfterQuery supplies frontier AI labs with expert evaluation data, and this contract role puts working fraud investigators on the authoring side of that pipeline. You build realistic case scenarios that start at the first alert and run through final disposition, covering payments fraud, AML, insurance and corporate investigations. Each scenario needs a reference answer that explains the reasoning behind every call, from reading transaction patterns to planning an interview. Models then get graded against your judgment, so weak logic and unsupported conclusions surface fast.
What You'll Do7
- Draft end-to-end fraud scenarios that mirror the cases a working investigator handles, beginning with the initial alert and closing at disposition.
- Compose reference answers that spell out the reasoning behind each investigative step, including how transaction patterns and interview tactics shaped the call.
- Review model responses for investigative soundness, strength of evidence and whether the case work is complete.
- Call out answers that sound convincing but rest on evidence that does not hold up, especially the leaps a trained investigator would reject.
- Document your own reasoning in clear written English so reviewers and model trainers can follow the logic.
- Apply methods drawn from your specialty, whether that means open source research, case file review or subject interviews.
- Keep scenarios grounded in real practice for your domain so the evaluation tests judgment rather than trivia.
Requirements8
- At least two years of professional fraud investigation casework.
- Depth in one fraud domain such as payments, insurance, AML or corporate investigations.
- Command of core investigative methods, from transaction analysis and open source research to interviews and case file work.
- Strong written English suited to documenting investigative reasoning step by step.
- Capacity to commit a minimum of 10 hours per week, with no upper limit.
- CFE certification or a comparable credential (preferred).
- Background in law enforcement or regulatory investigation (preferred).
- Experience with case referrals, expert testimony or SAR filing (preferred).
Who Should Apply
Practicing fraud investigators with two or more years of casework in payments, insurance, AML or corporate investigations. CFEs, former law enforcement officers and regulatory investigators fit well. You need to turn investigative instinct into written reasoning another professional can follow.
Salary Insight
Listed compensation is $78.00/hr, with the posting quoting a $70 to $85/hr band. Your rate is set from your experience at the start rather than negotiated downward later, and Stripe handles weekly payment. For investigators with a CFE and several years of casework, that band sits in line with senior contract rates for expert evaluation work.
