The role
You'll design realistic finance tasks that a qualified professional could solve with the right knowledge and tools, and that today's AI models get wrong. Each task is built around a scenario we provide. You create the working documents someone in your role would actually handle, write the request, solve it yourself and define how the answer gets graded. Your work becomes evaluation and training data for frontier models.
You don't need an AI background. You do need to be the kind of finance professional who catches the number that ties out but shouldn't.
Areas we're hiring for
Treasury operations: cash positioning and liquidity management, daily cash operations and bank reconciliation, treasury analysis of accruals, exposures and discrepancies, and matching booked deals to counterparty confirmations and settlement records
Audit and assurance: external, internal or government audit, technology assurance, and SOX and ITGC controls testing, from evidence and walkthroughs through workpapers, exceptions, findings and remediation
Trading and portfolio operations: pre-trade compliance and clearance, execution trading from rebalance instructions, tickets and blotters, and reconciling positions, cash and holdings against instructions and constraints
Equity administration: stock plan administration (grants, vesting, approvals and plan availability), equity plan analysis (share reserves, outstanding awards and fair-market-value inputs), and corporate paralegal work on board consents and equity transaction documents
What you'll do
Build realistic evidence files from a provided scenario: bank statements and cash positions, deal confirmations and settlement records, trial balances and GL extracts, audit workpapers and control evidence, trade blotters and rebalance instructions, position and cash reconciliations, cap tables, grant records and board consents
Write clear task requests that state what the deliverable is and how uncertainty and justified assumptions should be handled Solve each task end to end and document a reference solution with the reasoning behind every step Write explicit scoring criteria that let two independent graders reach the same verdict, including acceptable alternative answers Run tasks against current models, find where and why they fail, and adjust difficulty Check your own and peers' tasks for ambiguity, errors, answers exposed in the materials and shortcuts that skip the intended reasoning Incorporate reviewer feedback within agreed turnaround times and flag guideline gaps or edge cases you run into Who we're looking for Required 3+ years of hands-on experience in one or more of the four areas above: treasury operations, audit and assurance, trading and portfolio operations, or equity administration
