About this Role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Fintech / Crypto Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated fintech, payments, and crypto/Web3 responses and/or create expert content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, safety, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in financial product logic, payments flows, blockchain/crypto concepts, custody and key management, smart-contract risk reasoning (conceptual), fraud/AML considerations, and regulatory-compliance awareness; fact-check technical and market concepts; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct reasoning; and rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs.

Important:
There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.

### Key Responsibilities
- Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts and gold-standard fintech/crypto outputs (explanations, scenario analyses, risk write-ups, user guidance).
- Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve correctness, clarity, safety, and practical usefulness.
- Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI outputs for inaccuracies, misleading certainty, unsafe financial guidance, and bias; validate reliability across use cases.

### Your Profile
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Finance, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
- 5+ years of professional experience in fintech, payments, banking, crypto, or adjacent domains (product, operations, risk, compliance, research, engineering, or consulting).
- Strong understanding of payments and money movement: authorization/settlement, chargebacks, fees, rails (card networks, ACH, wires), and common failure modes.
- Strong understanding of crypto/blockchain fundamentals: transaction lifecycle, consensus (high level), on-chain vs off-chain, token mechanics, and common misconceptions.
- Solid risk mindset: fraud vectors, account takeover, social engineering, custody/key management risks, and safety-first user guidance.
- Familiarity with compliance concepts relevant to fintech/crypto (high level): KYC/AML, sanctions awareness, consumer protection, and disclosure practices.
- Ability to evaluate answers for internal consistency (units, timelines, fees, security assumptions, and realistic constraints).
- Minimum C1 English proficiency with strong written communication and the ability to explain complex topics clearly.
- Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
- Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, financial content QA, risk/compliance review, or technical writing is strongly preferred.

Requirements

  • Advanced degree or strong hands-on professional experience in the domain
  • Ability to pass domain-specific qualification assessments
  • Eligible to create a verified account on Deel (for payments/compliance)
  • Proficiency in English (for instructions and feedback)
  • Must be located in one of the 40+ supported countries (e.g., The United States)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there room for advancement?

Yes. This is a key feature of the platform. They explicitly list a career path: Data Trainer -> Quality Analyst -> QA Lead -> Project Manager. Consistent high-quality work can lead to leadership roles.

How do payments work?

Payments are processed weekly through Deel. This ensures tax compliance and allows them to hire freelancers from over 40 countries securely.

Is the work ongoing or project-based?

Work is project-based, which means assignments can vary in duration and availability. However, top performers often get priority access to new projects.

Is this traditional consulting?

Not exactly. You act as a "Teacher" for advanced AI. Instead of client deliverables, you are given complex scenarios to evaluate. You grade the AI's logic, correct its hallucinations, and provide expert-level reasoning. Your job is to train the model to think like you do.

Why is the pay so high?

This role requires deep, verified expertise. General knowledge isn't enough; the model is specifically being trained on "edge cases"—the rare, difficult, or highly technical nuances that only a senior professional would know.

What is the workload like?

This is cognitive, deep work. Unlike simple data labeling, you might spend 45-60 minutes on a single task, researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is prioritized over speed.

Who is behind SME Careers?

SME Careers is the expert talent division of SuperAnnotate, a leading AI data infrastructure platform. They connect domain experts with high-level AI training projects.
