Tax Attorney Expert

AfterQuery Contract Posted 2 months ago US, UK, EU, CA, AU, NZ

Role details

<p>Tax attorneys to build the tax law reasoning scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.</p>
<p>AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring tax attorneys as contractors to author and grade the tax law scenarios those evaluations run on. Tax reasoning is one of the most demanded benchmark areas in legal AI evaluation, and it pays accordingly.</p>
<p><strong>What you'll actually do</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Author realistic tax scenarios from structuring questions through controversy positions, the kind a practicing tax lawyer actually works.</li>
<li>Write reference answers with the code and regulation reasoning behind each position, authorities cited and weighed.</li>
<li>Grade model output for technical accuracy, authority support, and whether the position would survive scrutiny.</li>
<li>Flag positions that read confident but misapply the code or miss controlling authority, the misses only a practitioner would catch.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Who this is for</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Attorneys with a JD, active bar admission, and at least two years of tax practice at a firm, in house, or in government.</li>
<li>Practitioners with depth in a real tax area, corporate, partnership, international, controversy, or SALT.</li>
<li>Tax lawyers who reason from the code and regulations, not from summaries of them.</li>
<li>People with strong written English who can turn tax judgment into clear, teachable reasoning.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Contract and pay</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>$120 to $200/hr</strong>, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.</li>
<li>Remote and async: fully remote, fully async. No fixed hours.</li>
<li>Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.</li>
<li>No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.</li>
<li>Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How our hiring process works</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Apply</strong> at /apply/tax-attorney-expert. About five minutes. Resume plus a few structured questions.</li>
<li><strong>Resume review.</strong> Every application gets read against a published rubric and gets a decision.</li>
<li><strong>Written assessment.</strong> You may be asked to take a written assessment for further placement.</li>
<li><strong>Onboarding.</strong> Sign the contractor agreement, connect Stripe, and get platform access.</li>
<li><strong>Project match.</strong> You're matched to live work in your specialty, usually within a week of onboarding.</li>
</ul>
