About this role

As part of AfterQuery’s engineering team, you’ll have end-to-end ownership over projects that push the frontier of AI evaluation. This is not a narrow role.

One week you might prototype a new RL environment from a research paper, the next you’ll be deploying distributed experiments on Kubernetes, and the week after you’ll be improving the reliability of our Next.js dashboards or building a Kafka pipeline for annotator analytics.

What You’ll Do

Design and build scalable systems: RL environments, APIs, and human-in-the-loop platforms.

Collaborate across research, product, and design to ship features quickly.

Write clean, maintainable code and contribute to documentation.

Participate in code reviews and design discussions

Solve real-world scalability and reliability challenges.

Contribute to the core infrastructure powering data and evaluation for leading AI labs.

What happens next

Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

A meeting lands on your calendar

When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
