About the Role

Do you actively trade stocks, ETFs, crypto, or derivatives? Your real-world investing knowledge is exactly what we need. We're building AI systems that genuinely understand how retail investors think — and we need experienced traders to make that happen.

  • Label and categorize financial data with consistency, helping AI models better understand real investor behavior
  • Apply your personal trading judgment to assess how AI reasons about equities, ETFs, crypto, and broader market dynamics
  • Provide structured written feedback on AI outputs related to risk management, portfolio decisions, and trade execution
  • Flag gaps or errors in how AI models interpret retail investor logic and market reasoning
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
