About the role

Use your hands-on experience in civil engineering to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work.

AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We're looking for civil, geotechnical and structural field engineers who work with site and monitoring data: the settlement, pile test, load test, inspection and instrumentation data you interpret.

Requirements

• Technical: Working knowledge of Python for analyzing your own monitoring data.

Preferred

• Background: 3 or more years working with field data, with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in civil engineering; PE or Chartered status is a plus.
• Hands-on work with real data, rather than design-office roles.

Contract and pay

Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on.
