Job description

Are you a securities, commodities, and financial services expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of financial insight and market analysis. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class financial education, keep pace with evolving market regulations, and streamline decision‑making for finance professionals everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for securities, commodities, and financial services specialists who live and breathe investment strategies, risk management, derivatives trading, portfolio analysis, regulatory compliance, financial modeling, market microstructure, economic indicators, and financial reporting. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like asset valuation, options and futures contracts, SEC regulations, commodities markets, trading algorithms, and financial risk assessment—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on real-world trading scenarios and theoretical financial questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A bachelor’s or master’s degree in finance, economics, business, or a closely related field is ideal; professional certifications such as CFA, FRM, or Series licenses, experience in trading floors, financial analysis, or compliance projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.

Ready to turn your securities, commodities, and financial services expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI?

We offer a pay range of $8-to- $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
