Overview

AfterQuery assembles the evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure model judgment, and tax reasoning sits among the most requested benchmark areas in legal AI work. As a contract tax attorney, you write the scenarios and reference answers those evaluations run on, spanning deal structuring through controversy positions. Each answer needs the Internal Revenue Code and regulation reasoning spelled out, with controlling authorities cited and weighed. You also score model output for technical accuracy and note where a confident-sounding position misreads the code. The engagement runs remote and async with a floor of 10 hours per week and no ceiling.

What You'll Do8

  • Draft realistic tax problems that mirror the structuring questions and controversy positions a practicing lawyer handles.
  • Build reference answers that trace each conclusion back to the governing code sections and regulations.
  • Cite and weigh the authorities behind every position so the reasoning holds up under review.
  • Evaluate model responses for technical accuracy, authority support, and whether the position would survive scrutiny.
  • Mark answers that sound assured but misapply a provision or overlook controlling authority.
  • Capture the subtle misses that only a practitioner with real tax depth would notice.
  • Keep each scenario grounded in a recognizable practice area rather than an abstract hypothetical.
  • Turn your own tax judgment into written reasoning that a reviewer can follow step by step.

Requirements9

  • JD plus active bar admission in a US jurisdiction.
  • Two or more years of tax practice at a law firm, in house, or in government.
  • Recognized depth in one tax area such as corporate, partnership, international, controversy, or state and local.
  • Strong written English that conveys tax reasoning without ambiguity.
  • Availability of at least 10 hours per week.
  • Comfort reasoning from the code and regulations directly instead of secondary summaries.
  • LLM in Taxation or a CPA credential (preferred).
  • Transaction structuring or IRS controversy background (preferred).
  • Cross border or state and local tax experience (preferred).

Who Should Apply

Tax lawyers with a JD, active bar admission, and at least two years of practice who can argue from the code and regulations rather than from summaries. Practitioners holding real depth in corporate, partnership, international, controversy, or state and local tax fit best here.

Salary Insight

The posting lists $160.00/hr, and the source range runs $120 to $200/hr with your rate set from your experience rather than negotiated down after you start. Pay goes out weekly through Stripe. That band sits well above typical contract document-review work and reflects the specialized tax expertise the evaluations require.
