Job description

Domain Researcher, Finance is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across finance and risk workflows. Reviewers grade calculations, narrative reasoning, and policy adherence; flag compliance and reconciliation issues; and document the correct treatment so the modeling team can train on it.

Why this role matters

• Audit a 25-row batch for rubric consistency and report drift to the program lead.
