Overview
AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs rely on to test model judgment, and the company needs licensed physical therapists to write and grade the rehabilitation scenarios behind those tests. You would craft realistic cases that run from initial evaluation through progression and discharge, then write reference answers that show the clinical reasoning behind each decision. The work also involves reviewing what models produce for safety, contraindications, and adherence to evidence based practice. Cases span orthopedic, neurologic, and acute care rehab, and you set your own hours each week with a minimum of 10.
What You'll Do6
- Build realistic rehabilitation scenarios that start at evaluation and carry through progression decisions to discharge.
- Write reference answers that spell out the clinical reasoning driving each step of a plan of care.
- Review model output for patient safety, contraindications, and grounding in evidence based practice.
- Call out exercise recommendations that sound plausible on paper but could injure a real patient.
- Document your reasoning in plain written English so another licensed PT can follow the logic.
- Choose cases that reflect your own clinical depth, whether that means orthopedic, neurologic, or acute care rehab.
Requirements8
- DPT or an equivalent physical therapy degree, paired with an active and unencumbered US PT license.
- At least 2 years of hands-on clinical practice.
- Clinical depth in orthopedic, neurologic, or acute care rehabilitation.
- Written English strong enough to make clinical reasoning clear to a peer reviewer.
- Availability of 10 hours per week or more, with no ceiling on hours.
- Board specialty certification such as OCS, NCS, or SCS preferred.
- Specialization in sports, vestibular, or pelvic health is a plus.
- Residency, fellowship training, or experience instructing clinical students preferred.
Who Should Apply
Practicing physical therapists with 2 or more years of clinical experience who can explain treatment decisions in writing as clearly as they make them in the clinic. Orthopedic, neurologic, or acute care specialists fit best, and board certification or a sports, vestibular, or pelvic health focus strengthens a candidacy.
Salary Insight
The listing advertises $70 to $105/hr, paid weekly through Stripe, with your rate set from your experience rather than negotiated down after you start. That band sits well above typical outpatient PT hourly pay, which tracks with the expert-review nature of the work. Expect an ongoing contractor engagement with no cap on weekly hours.
