AfterQuery is an applied research lab curating data solutions for foundation model development. We serve every frontier AI lab with the mission of delivering the best data to power the best models. In doing so, we can make expertise that once took a lifetime to build available to anyone who needs it.
Our customers are the ones building the foundation models themselves and our work sits directly in the loop of how those systems improve. This is a rare opportunity to join a company at a defining moment in AI. We are YC's fastest unicorn, valued at $3.2 billion. We're based in San Francisco and backed by leading investors including Altos Ventures, BoxGroup, and Y Combinator and angels from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta Superintelligence Labs, and Microsoft AI.
Massive Opportunity: We are YC's fastest unicorn valued at $3.2 billion and we're not slowing down.
Founding Impact: You will own and architect core infrastructure systems that power our platform from the ground up.
Equity & Growth: Competitive salary and meaningful equity. As we scale, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the engineering organization and lead major technical initiatives.
Strong Team: Our founding team has experience from Citadel Securities, Meta, Google, Silver Lake, and Morgan Stanley — work alongside world-class engineers and researchers.
AfterQuery is hiring Growth Associates to architect and scale the expert supply engine powering frontier AI training. You will own both manual and automated acquisition pipelines to grow our expert network from 100K to hundreds of thousands and beyond. This role blends GTM automation engineering, talent acquisition, marketing, conference planning, partnership building, purchasing, and distribution.
This is not a typical “growth” role. It is an operational, and strategic position working directly with our founding team. You will design scalable systems, run experiments, recruit elite experts and operators, build automation stacks, represent AfterQuery at conferences and panels, and drive brand amplification / marketing initiatives.
