About Turing

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L.

Role Overview

Turing is looking for Quantitative Finance professionals to work with our researchers to improve the performance of AI models. You will apply your expertise in quantitative modeling, statistical analysis, algorithmic strategy development, and financial engineering to evaluate and train AI systems. If you enjoy solving complex quantitative problems and are interested in shaping the future of AI in finance, please apply. No prior AI experience is required.

What Does Day-to-Day Look Like

  • Evaluate LLM models on quantitative finance topics such as stochastic modeling, derivatives pricing, statistical arbitrage, and risk quantification.
  • Create rubrics to assess model capabilities on tasks like options pricing, Monte Carlo simulation, factor model construction, and backtesting methodologies.
  • Collaborate with AI researchers and fellow finance experts to shape training methods, evaluation strategies, and benchmarks.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in Quantitative Finance (e.g., quant trading, quant research, financial engineering, or risk modeling).
  • Strong grasp of stochastic calculus, statistical modeling, derivatives pricing theory, and programming languages such as Python, R, or C++.
  • Excellent English written communication.

Bonuses (Not at All Necessary)

  • CFA, FRM, CQF, Ph.D. in a quantitative field, or MBA in Finance.

Perks of Freelancing with Turing

  • Work on the cutting edge of AI and finance.
  • Fully remote and flexible work environment.
  • Competitive hourly compensation of ~$100+/hour depending on experience.

Offer Details

  • Commitment: Flexible, 10–30 hrs/week.
  • Duration: ~1 month, with the possibility of extension based on performance and project needs.

How long hiring takes

Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.

Why this role

This Quantitative Analyst role is for quants to evaluate AI reasoning on statistical modeling, derivatives pricing, and quantitative finance problems. It applies real modeling experience to catch where a model's math checks out but its finance assumptions do not.

Common questions

How and when does Turing pay contractors?

Monthly, in USD, via Deel, Payoneer, or direct bank transfer. You're engaged as an independent contractor responsible for your own local taxes. Plan your cash flow around a monthly cycle if you're used to weekly payouts elsewhere.

Do I need to be a software engineer to work for Turing?

No, not anymore. Turing built its name matching senior engineers with Silicon Valley companies, but it has since expanded into AGI infrastructure work and now hires non-engineering domain experts, technical writers, and researchers for post-training data annotation and RLHF. A strong analytical background and excellent English matter more than coding ability.

What does task-based AI training work look like?

Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.

What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?

No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.

What does Mathematics work look like for a Quantitative Analyst (Finance)?

Tasks here are scoped to Mathematics, not generic labeling. As a Quantitative Analyst (Finance), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Mathematics) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Mathematics background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Domain-Specific Languages and English are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How many hours per week does this role require?

Based on the listing, this role is scoped at about 40 hours per week, over roughly a 4-week contract. Treat this as a real commitment expectation, not a loose estimate.

How much does this specific role pay?

The listing doesn't state a rate. The $20–$45/hr shown here is our estimate from the role type and location (see /pay-methodology), so treat it as a rough guide and confirm the actual rate with the platform before committing time.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Turing's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
