We are looking for a Finance Expert to help advance AI development in the finance domain. We’re currently expanding into an exciting new area – teaching AI Assistant models to be a more useful tool for finance professionals. We're seeking experienced finance professionals with advanced degrees (MBA+) and professional experience to use their expertise to help shape how AI understands financial principles and decision-making.

We’re growing a team of finance experts, and as the team grows, so will your opportunities. In this role, you might:

  • Review and improve AI Assistant answers to questions about macro trends, corporate finance, and capital markets
  • Leverage your education and work experience to check the reasoning and accuracy of an AI Assistant's work
  • Push the models with complex, real-world scenarios and edge cases to see where their reasoning holds up – and where it doesn’t
  • Share clear, structured feedback to help make each new version of the AI smarter and more reliable

To succeed in this position, you should have expert-level financial reasoning and formal training in a finance-related discipline. A Master’s or PhD (completed or in progress) is strongly preferred. Relevant backgrounds include Financial Accounting, Investment Banking, Corporate Development, Wealth Management, and Insurance Planning.

Benefits:

  • This a full-time or part-time REMOTE position
  • You’ll be able to choose which projects you want to work on
  • You can work on your own schedule
  • Projects are paid hourly starting at $50–$60 USD per hour, with bonuses on high-quality and high-volume work

  • Evaluate the quality produced by AI models for correctness and performance

Qualifications:

  • Fluency in English (native or bilingual level)
  • Detail-oriented
  • Proficient in financial analysis, financial modeling, data analysis, and other reasoning exercises related to finance management
  • A current, in progress, or completed Masters and/or PhD is preferred but not required
