Overview
AfterQuery builds expert-level evaluation and training data for frontier AI labs, and this role puts your quant background directly into that pipeline. You will grade AI-written work on derivatives pricing, time-series analysis, portfolio construction and risk modeling, judging whether the math holds up. Beyond scoring, you produce your own worked demonstrations so models can learn how practitioners actually approach these problems, then rank competing outputs against accepted quantitative practice. The engagement runs hourly and async, so you set your own hours and workload.
What You'll Do8
- Review AI-generated quantitative analysis and judge the soundness of its math, assumptions and derivations
- Write step-by-step expert walkthroughs of pricing, portfolio construction and risk modeling tasks drawn from your own practice
- Compare multiple model answers to the same quant question and order them by technical quality
- Label responses against recognized quantitative standards, flagging errors in method or reasoning
- Spot flawed statistical reasoning, misapplied models or results that conflict with known theory
- Document why a given answer fails or succeeds so the feedback is usable by model trainers
- Cover topics across derivatives, time-series work and portfolio analytics as assigned
- Keep your own analysis consistent with the conventions used in professional quant research
Requirements8
- Advanced degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science or quantitative finance, or comparable hands-on experience
- At least two years spent in quantitative research, trading or risk modeling
- Working fluency in Python, R or C++ for quantitative computation
- Comfort reading and critiquing mathematical derivations and statistical methods
- Ability to explain your reasoning in clear written form for a non-specialist reader
- Buy-side or sell-side background at a hedge fund, prop trading firm or bank (preferred)
- CFA charter or FRM certification (preferred)
- Published research or open-source quantitative projects (preferred)
Who Should Apply
Quants with a graduate degree and two or more years in research, trading or risk who want flexible hourly work that plays to their modeling strengths. Candidates coming from a hedge fund, prop shop or bank, and those holding a CFA or FRM, fit this brief closest.
Salary Insight
The rate is $175.00 per hour, which sits well above typical contract pay for quantitative review work and reflects the specialist knowledge the task demands. Since hours are async and self-set, your monthly earnings track directly with how much time you commit.
