Overview

AfterQuery needs people who already run budgets, grants and program reporting inside government to help train AI models on that work. You turn your day job into realistic test problems, then check what the model produces against what a working professional would accept. The engagement runs remote with hours you set yourself, and pay comes in hourly. Budget analysis, grant management and program evaluation form the core of the subject matter. Students and early-career candidates sit outside the intended pool.

What You'll Do5

Draft work problems that mirror the assignments a colleague would hand you in a government office
Work through budget documents, grant files and program reporting data to build those problems
Read AI-generated answers and flag errors that a seasoned public sector professional would notice
Judge whether model output reflects sound budget, grant and reporting practice
Set your own hours and workload across the project

Requirements4

5 or more years of professional experience as a budget analyst, grants manager, program evaluator or a comparable government or public agency role
Bachelor's degree or higher
Direct, hands-on experience building and maintaining spreadsheets in your own work
Strong written English

Preferred Qualifications3

Experience at more than one level of government
Federal grant management experience
Master's in public administration or public policy

Who Should Apply

Budget analysts, grants managers and program evaluators with five or more years inside government or a public agency. You should be comfortable building spreadsheets yourself and writing clear English about budget, grant and reporting work.

Salary Insight
