You create quantitative problems and review AI responses on strategy, signal generation and risk modelling for practical feasibility. It suits quants with at least a year of hands-on experience at a top fund or trading firm who write clearly.
Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced quantitative analysts to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on experience building and reasoning about quantitative strategies and models to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing quant.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.
What You'll Do
- Use your domain expertise to create expert-level quantitative problems and scenarios grounded in real research, modeling, and strategy development work
- Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done
- Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
- Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement
Qualifications
Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:
- Industry/research experience — minimum 1 year of professional experience at a top company or fund, with direct hands-on work as a quant
- Degree — Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field
- Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas:
- Quant research and alpha/signal generation
- Trading strategy design and execution
- Risk modeling and portfolio construction
Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)
- Experience at a recognized, top-tier quant fund or trading firm
Required for all applicants
- Based in the United States
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
- Ability to explain complex quantitative concepts clearly
- Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
