[Hiring] Financial Mathematics (Python) - Freelance AI Trainer @Mindrift

Role Description

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Design original computational financial problems that simulate real financial research workflows;
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from mathematical practice;
• Verify solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

Qualifications

• Degree in Finance, Mathematics or related fields;
• Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
• Strong written English (C1+);
• Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.

Requirements

This opportunity is a good fit for Financial Mathematic specialists with experience in Python open to part-time, non-permanent projects.

Benefits

• Earn up to $76 per hour equivalent, depending on level and pace of contribution;
• Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise;
• Other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.
