Research Scientist – Frontier Evaluations

AfterQuery is hiring Research Scientists to design and publish rigorous evaluations for frontier AI systems. The role spans agentic, coding, and safety evaluations, as well as expert-domain evaluations involving applied AI in healthcare, STEM, finance, and related fields. You will own evaluation development end to end and collaborate across disciplines to turn important capability gaps into rigorous public research.

• Lead the end-to-end design, validation, launch, and continuous improvement of frontier AI benchmarks.
• Partner with researchers and domain experts to develop evaluations around meaningful model failures, gaps in existing coverage, and high-priority domains.
• Analyze model capabilities and failure modes using rigorous experimental design and statistical methods.
• Build reproducible evaluation systems, including harnesses, graders, and benchmark infrastructure.
