hirify.global aims to create AI systems that understand the universe and aid humanity, operating with a small, highly motivated team focused on engineering excellence.

What you will do

• Use proprietary annotation and evaluation software to deliver accurate labels, rankings, critiques, and comprehensive solutions.
• Consistently produce high-quality, curated data adhering to strict quantitative and regulatory standards.
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to develop and iterate on new training tasks, benchmarks, and evaluation frameworks.
• Provide constructive feedback to improve the efficiency, precision, and usability of annotation and data-collection tools.
• Select and solve challenging problems from financial risk domains (e.g., market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk).
• Deliver rigorous critiques of AI model outputs, alternative approaches, mathematical derivations, and quantitative reasoning traces.

Requirements

• Master’s or PhD in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Quantitative Finance, Financial Engineering, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Econometrics, Risk Management) or equivalent professional experience.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication (C1) for technical reports, regulatory documentation, and explanatory breakdowns.
• Strong familiarity with financial risk data sources and platforms (Bloomberg, Refinitiv, Moody’s Analytics, S&P Capital IQ, RiskMetrics).
• Exceptional analytical reasoning, attention to detail, and ability to exercise sound judgment with incomplete or ambiguous data.
• Genuine passion for quantitative risk management, financial stability, regulatory frameworks, extreme event modeling, and the application of frontier AI to risk problems.
• Must work fully remote from an approved location; hiring is unavailable in Wyoming and Illinois for US-based candidates.
• Must be available to work 9:00am - 5:30pm PST for the first two weeks of training, then 9:00am - 5:30pm in your own timezone thereafter.

Nice to have

• Professional experience in quantitative risk management, model development/validation, or risk analytics at a bank, hedge fund, asset manager, insurance company, regulator, or consulting firm.
• Track record of publication(s) or contributions in refereed journals/conferences on risk, econometrics, statistics, or quantitative finance.
• Prior teaching, mentoring, or training experience.
• Proficiency in Python/R for risk modeling (pandas, NumPy, SciPy, statsmodels, QuantLib, PyTorch/TensorFlow for ML risk models) and familiarity with risk systems (Murex, Calypso, Numerix).
• Experience with Monte Carlo simulation, copula models, stochastic processes, time-series analysis, extreme value theory, or machine learning for risk.
• Knowledge of regulatory capital frameworks (Basel III/IV, FRB CCAR, SR 11-7 model risk guidance, IFRS 9/CECL, Solvency II).
• CFA, FRM, PRM, CQF, or similar risk-focused certifications.
• Previous exposure to large language models, AI safety, or quantitative evaluation pipelines.
