Software Engineer - Applied AI / Platform

As part of AfterQuery’s engineering team, you’ll have end-to-end ownership over projects that push the frontier of AI evaluation. You’ll work on a mix of research engineering (designing novel RL environments, agentic systems, evaluation harnesses) and platform engineering (building human-in-the-loop platforms, scaling data infrastructure, designing annotator workflows).

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.
