The job description

About the Role

What if your quantitative expertise could directly shape how AI reasons about financial models, risk, and forecasting for millions of users worldwide? We're looking for Quantitative Analysts to evaluate, critique, and improve AI-generated mathematical and statistical outputs — ensuring the models AI produces are sound, well-reasoned, and actually work the way they should.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you have a strong foundation in quantitative finance, statistics, or applied mathematics and a sharp eye for model behavior, this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

Analyze AI-generated quantitative models for mathematical validity, statistical soundness, and logical consistency
Evaluate predictive model performance and identify unexpected, flawed, or anomalous behavior
Validate data pipelines, feature sets, and transformation logic for correctness and reliability
Summarize complex quantitative findings in clear, structured, and actionable formats
Flag inconsistencies, recalibration needs, or gaps in model assumptions
Support recurring evaluations of quantitative frameworks and simulation outputs
Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Strong background in quantitative finance, statistics, applied mathematics, or data science
Deep understanding of modeling techniques, statistical inference, and predictive analytics
Able to interpret complex model behavior and communicate findings clearly to non-technical audiences
Naturally detail-oriented — you notice when a number doesn't add up or an assumption doesn't hold
Self-motivated and consistent when working independently without supervision

Nice to Have

Hands-on experience with Python, R, or quantitative modeling libraries (NumPy, pandas, statsmodels, etc.)
Background in risk analysis, algorithmic trading, or financial engineering
Experience reviewing or auditing quantitative models in a professional setting
Familiarity with AI tools or model evaluation workflows

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
Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and applies quantitative reasoning at scale
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
