Description

  • Review quantitative finance tasks and workflows for technical accuracy, realism, clarity, and internal consistency.
  • Evaluate whether datasets, assumptions, constraints, and expected workflows match real-world quantitative research and systematic trading practices.
  • Identify missing assumptions, ambiguous instructions, unrealistic constraints, unsupported requirements, and critical edge cases.
  • Assess whether tasks measure practical quantitative finance capabilities rather than theoretical knowledge alone.
  • Provide concise, structured written feedback with actionable recommendations to improve task quality and realism.
  • Collaborate with other subject matter experts to calibrate evaluations and maintain consistent quality standards.

Requirements

  • 5–8 years of relevant experience for the Researcher Track, or 8–15 years for the Senior Reviewer Track.
  • Professional experience in quantitative research, systematic or algorithmic trading, portfolio construction, quantitative portfolio management, financial engineering, or related quantitative investment disciplines.
  • Strong Python programming skills with hands-on experience developing, validating, or reviewing quantitative research workflows.
  • Deep understanding of research methodology and bias, data quality and validation, backtesting best practices, transaction costs and market impact, risk modeling, portfolio implementation constraints, and quantitative model evaluation.
  • Excellent written communication skills with the ability to clearly explain evaluation decisions and professional reasoning.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to evaluate work against structured quality standards.
  • Experience reviewing research, mentoring analysts, establishing quality controls, or approving technical work is highly valued for senior-level reviewers.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the applicable hiring location; visa sponsorship, including H-1B and STEM OPT, is not available.
  • Availability to actively participate throughout the engagement and respond promptly to project updates and feedback.

Benefits

  • Compensation of $170-$220 per hour.
  • Fully remote role with flexible working hours.
  • Independent contractor engagement.
  • High-engagement project with potential for extension based on business needs and individual performance.
