About the Role

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research lab to train frontier models on rigorous quantitative reasoning. We're hiring Quantitative Finance Experts to evaluate and compare model outputs on challenging finance problems, helping shape how the next generation of AI reasons about markets, derivatives, and risk.

  • Provide written feedback the research team uses to improve model behavior

  • Participate in onboarding and specialty calibration sessions

You're a Good Fit If You

  • Have 2+ years of professional experience in quantitative finance (hedge fund, quant trading, derivatives, risk, or equity research)

  • Hold an advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a quantitative field such as Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or Economics - or equivalent industry experience

  • Are comfortable programming in Python (NumPy/pandas) for modeling and analysis

  • Demonstrate excellent written communication with high attention to detail

Role Highlights

  • Flexible workload: 10–20 hours per week

  • Role starts immediately; applications reviewed on a rolling basis
