Quantitative Analyst Expert - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery seeks a quantitative researcher to join a Finance team that builds evaluation and training data for frontier AI labs. The contract runs remote and async, with a commitment around 10 hours each week. You will judge model output on mathematical rigor, write demonstrations of pricing, portfolio, and risk modeling, and label responses against accepted quantitative practice. The work calls for fluency in Python, R, or C++ and at least two years in quantitative research, trading, or risk modeling. Your analysis shapes how large models reason about markets.
What You'll Do6
- 1Review AI-generated quantitative analysis and check each step for mathematical rigor.
- 2Build expert demonstrations that show pricing, portfolio construction, and risk modeling workflows end to end.
- 3Rank model responses and label them against quantitative best practices.
- 4Spot flawed assumptions, incorrect formulas, or weak numerical methods in generated answers and note the fix.
- 5Write reference solutions for derivative pricing, portfolio optimization, and risk measurement tasks.
- 6Score outputs for mathematical accuracy and alignment with accepted finance methods.
Requirements6
- 1Advanced degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, quantitative finance, or a record of equivalent work.
- 2Two or more years in quantitative research, trading, or risk modeling.
- 3Coding fluency in Python, R, or C++ for quantitative tasks.
- 4Buy-side or sell-side experience at a hedge fund, prop trading firm, or bank.
- 5CFA charter or FRM certification.
- 6Published research or open-source quantitative projects.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds an advanced degree in math, statistics, physics, computer science, or quantitative finance and brings at least two years in quantitative research, trading, or risk modeling. Fluency in Python, R, or C++ matters because you will write reference solutions and inspect model reasoning. A CFA or FRM credential, buy-side or sell-side background, or published quantitative work will strengthen your application. This contract suits someone who wants 10 hours of remote, async work each week, not a full-time desk role with close supervision. Candidates often score low when they list general data science projects without direct pricing, portfolio, or risk modeling work, or when they claim coding fluency without evidence of numerical libraries, custom models, or reproducible quantitative analysis.
Salary Insight
Pay ranges from $150 to $200 per hour for a contract that runs about 10 hours per week. That band sits near the top of remote quantitative analyst contract rates and matches candidates with an advanced degree plus several years of trading, research, or risk modeling experience. The async schedule gives you control over when those hours happen.
