Job description

About The Role

What if your finance and accounting expertise could directly shape how AI handles real enterprise financial work? Alignerr is building a dataset of expert tasks that train and evaluate advanced AI agents on accounting reconciliation --- and we're looking for experienced finance professionals in Germany to help design them.

As a Task Author, you will create realistic, numerically rigorous accounting scenarios --- billing versus revenue reconciliation, payment-to-invoice matching, margin report analysis --- that genuinely challenge capable AI agents while remaining objectively scorable.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. Strong English language skills are required for task authoring. No AI background needed --- just deep accounting expertise.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: Flexible, task-based

Key Responsibilities

• Author realistic task prompts centered on accounting reconciliation: matching payments to invoices, reconciling billing against recognized revenue, and analyzing margin reports
• Write scoring rubrics that specify exact numerical outcomes and the reasoning steps required to reach them
• Set up task environments with the financial data, documents, and system states needed to replicate a realistic accounting scenario
• Solve each task yourself to validate that the numbers work and the rubric is correct
• Calibrate task difficulty --- adjust data complexity, ambiguity in source documents, or required reasoning steps until the task reliably challenges the model to the intended degree
• Review and correct AI-drafted task prompts or rubrics when provided

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience as an accountant, finance analyst, or in a closely related role
• Strong, precise numerical reasoning and demonstrated ability to work through multi-step reconciliation problems
• Solid knowledge of revenue recognition principles, matching rules, and standard accounting workflows (IFRS or HGB experience welcome)
• Ability to define verifiable correctness criteria --- exact figures, reconciled balances, or documented variance explanations
• Comfortable working with financial documents, spreadsheets, and accounting system outputs
• Strong written English for task authoring purposes
• Iterative mindset: willing to test and refine tasks until difficulty and gradability are both right

Nice to Have

• Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or enterprise B2B finance environments
• Familiarity with ERP or accounting platforms (e.g., SAP, DATEV, NetSuite)
• Steuerberater, Wirtschaftsprüfer, or equivalent professional qualification
• Background in audit, financial controls, or revenue assurance

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible --- work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Contribute to AI development that directly shapes how technology handles enterprise finance
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
