Overview
AfterQuery seeks licensed occupational therapists to write the clinical scenarios and reference answers that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. You will cover daily living skills, cognition, and adaptive strategies, then grade model output for safety, practicality, and client centered fit. The contract runs 10 hours per week, 100% remote and async, with pay from $70 to $105 per hour through Stripe. Your NBCOT credentials and clinical eye shape how these models reason about function and independence.
What You'll Do4
- 1Author realistic occupational therapy scenarios that cover daily living skills, cognition, and adaptive strategies.
- 2Draft reference answers that explain the functional reasoning behind each recommendation.
- 3Review model output for safety, practicality, and fit with the client's needs and routines.
- 4Flag recommendations that sound plausible but fail in a real home or clinic setting.
Requirements8
- 1Active, unencumbered US occupational therapy license and NBCOT certification as an OTR/L.
- 2At least 2 years of clinical practice as an occupational therapist.
- 3Strong command of daily living assessment, adaptive equipment selection, and functional goal setting.
- 4Clear written English for documenting clinical reasoning.
- 5Ability to commit at least 10 hours per week to the project.
- 6Preferred: pediatric, hand therapy (CHT), or home health specialization.
- 7Preferred: experience in cognitive or neuro rehabilitation.
- 8Preferred: background in fieldwork education or clinical instruction.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds an active OTR/L license, NBCOT certification, and at least two years of clinical practice. Depth in daily living assessment, adaptive equipment, and functional goal setting matters more than broad OT experience because the work demands precise clinical reasoning in written form. Specialists in pediatrics, hand therapy (CHT), home health, cognitive rehab, or neuro rehab fit the preferred profile, and prior fieldwork education or clinical instruction helps. Candidates who lack an unencumbered US license, have fewer than two years of practice, or cannot write clear clinical English will score low. People who need live supervision, fixed schedules, or in-person patient contact may find the async, remote format less suitable.
Salary Insight
Pay runs $70.00 to $105.00 per hour, paid through Stripe by the hour. That range matches experienced, credentialed therapists who can turn clinical judgment into clear written scenarios. The contract lists 10 hours per week, so total earnings depend on the hours you choose each week.

Application Tip
Name your OTR/L license state and NBCOT certification status, then describe one case where you changed adaptive equipment or a daily living plan based on functional goals. Include pediatric, CHT, home health, cognitive rehab, or neuro rehab experience if it applies, since those specialties match the preferred profile. Upload your PT/OT license and specialty board certification with the application to clear the credential check.
