Financial Advisor (CFA or CFP)
Job Description
Job Title: Financial Advisor (CFA or CFP)
Job Type: Contractor - US ONLY
Location: Remote
Job Summary: In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Key Responsibilities:
Evaluate and review realistic advisory scenarios involving budgets, emergency funds, debt management, retirement planning, and investment decisions tailored to mainstream households.
Assess AI-generated recommendations for suitability, clarity, compliance, and actionable practicality for W-2 earners and middle-income families.
Document how actual advisor-client conversations unfold, including prioritizing goals, discussing tradeoffs, and walking clients through decision points.
Detail decision rules, rules of thumb, and benchmarks commonly used in practice (e.g., cash reserve targets, debt payoff sequencing, retirement savings rates).
Deliver clear, plain-language written feedback to enhance AI explanations, next steps, and client communication.
Identify and flag compliance or risk issues, emphasizing a fiduciary, client-first approach and appropriate referral scenarios (CPA, attorney, insurance).
Contribute to the development of workflows and processes that reflect best practices in everyday personal finance advising.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
3+ years of hands-on, client-facing experience providing holistic financial planning to mainstream households in roles such as Financial Advisor, Wealth Advisor, or Personal Financial Consultant.
Expertise in budgeting, cash flow analysis, debt management, retirement savings strategies, college planning, and basic risk management (insurance needs analysis).
CFP® certification strongly preferred (or CFP exam passed with substantial relevant experience); CFA, ChFC, or similar planning credentials considered with strong mainstream client work.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a talent for breaking down complex topics for non-experts.
Demonstrated commitment to fiduciary standards, compliance, and high-integrity client service.
Experience mentoring others, developing workflows, or standardizing planning processes.
Comfort working asynchronously and independently in a remote setting.
Preferred Qualifications:
Prior experience in roles blending financial planning and ongoing coaching, such as workplace financial consultant or advisor at national firms.
Background designing or improving standardized planning processes or digital advisory journeys.
Familiarity with personal finance apps, digital advice platforms, or AI-driven tools and a strong interest in innovation within the advisory space.
About Micro1
Micro1 is building the essential infrastructure for the next generation of artificial intelligence, moving beyond the limitations of static datasets to create a dynamic ecosystem where models truly learn to think and act. At its core, the company understands that the path to frontier intelligence isn't paved with synthetic data alone; it requires the nuance, judgment, and contextual awareness that only expert human guidance can provide. By positioning itself at the intersection of human expertise and advanced reinforcement learning, Micro1 is tackling the hardest problem in AI today: teaching models not just to answer questions, but to reason through complexity and take meaningful actions in unpredictable, real-world environments.
This mission comes to life through Realm, Micro1's flagship training environment. Realm functions as a high-fidelity simulation ground where AI agents are immersed in scenarios that closely mirror the messiness of actual human workflows. Rather than relying on abstract benchmarks, Realm forces models to engage in agentic actions, multi-step decisions, digital navigation, coding, and problem-solving that require genuine comprehension. It is within these realistic sandboxes that world-class human data is generated, creating a continuous feedback loop where expert annotators observe, correct, and guide model behavior. This process does more than just fine-tune outputs; it fundamentally elevates a model's underlying reasoning architecture, ensuring that the intelligence developed in training holds up when deployed into the wild.
But training is only half the equation. Micro1 recognizes that the true test of an AI system lies in its production performance, which is where Cortex enters the picture. Cortex is a contextual evaluation platform designed to move beyond superficial accuracy metrics and provide a granular, real-time view of how agents behave in live settings. It doesn't just flag errors; it surfaces the underlying context behind failures, revealing why an agent struggled with a particular user intent or environmental variable. This insight is invaluable for engineering teams, as it transforms evaluation from a passive checkpoint into an active improvement tool. With Cortex, companies can catch degradation early, understand the nuances of edge cases, and feed those learnings directly back into Realm for retraining, creating a virtuous cycle of continuous advancement.
Ultimately, Micro1 is not merely a data lab or an evaluation tool it is a comprehensive intelligence engine that connects the entire lifecycle of model development. From the expert human feedback that sharpens raw capability, to the realistic RL environments that forge robust agentic behavior, to the contextual oversight that ensures reliability in production, Micro1 provides the integrated foundation that AI labs and enterprises desperately need. As the industry races toward truly autonomous systems, Micro1 stands as the critical bridge between laboratory breakthroughs and dependable, real-world impact, ensuring that frontier models do not just perform well on paper, but deliver genuine value in the complex, dynamic world they are meant to serve.
