The job description

About the Role

What if your edge as a trader could directly influence how AI understands markets, risk, and investor behavior? We're looking for experienced market participants to help train cutting-edge AI systems that interpret retail trading patterns, crowd sentiment, and probabilistic market signals.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for people who live and breathe markets — traders, prediction market enthusiasts, and financially-savvy analysts who can think clearly about uncertainty and communicate their reasoning with precision.

What You'll Do

Evaluate real-world market events and assign well-reasoned probability estimates
Analyze how retail investors respond to catalysts, volatility, macro shifts, and sentiment changes
Interpret prediction-market signals across equities, crypto, macro, and global news
Review and label trading-related datasets with structured, consistent reasoning
Assess crowd behavior and identify patterns in retail trading flows
Provide clear written rationale grounded in current news, price action, and investor psychology

Who You Are

An active or recent market participant — you follow markets closely and trade or invest regularly
Comfortable thinking in probabilities and assessing event outcomes under uncertainty
Familiar with prediction markets, trading platforms, or retail investor behavior
Up to date on financial, macro, and geopolitical developments that move markets
Strong written communicator — you can explain your reasoning clearly and concisely
Detail-oriented and consistent when working through structured analytical tasks
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have

Experience with platforms like Kalshi, Polymarket, PredictIt, or similar prediction markets
Background in retail brokerage, financial analysis, or market research
Familiarity with technical analysis, options flow, or sentiment indicators
Knowledge of behavioral finance or investor psychology
Prior experience in data labeling, annotation, or AI training workflows

Why Join Us

Work on frontier AI research at the intersection of finance, forecasting, and machine learning
Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact work
Apply real market knowledge to a domain where your expertise genuinely matters
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
