Licensed Professional Counselor Expert

Pay: $83/hour

Licensed counselors (LPC or LMHC) to build the counseling scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment and safety.

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring licensed professional counselors as contractors to author and grade the counseling scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic counseling scenarios, including risk and ethical dilemmas
• Write reference responses with the therapeutic reasoning behind each choice
• Grade model output for clinical accuracy, ethics, and risk handling
• Flag responses that sound empathetic but mishandle risk, and say precisely why

Who this is for

• Active, unencumbered LPC or LMHC license
• 2+ years of counseling practice after licensure
• Real treatment planning and safety assessment experience
• You can write clinical reasoning clearly enough for another clinician to follow it

Contract and pay

• $65 to $100/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
• Fully remote, fully async. No fixed hours.
• Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
• No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
• Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.
