Job Description

Role Title: Financial Services Expert

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Financial Services Experts to contribute to a customer project focused on advancing artificial intelligence in personal finance. 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. This engagement is ideal for professionals with a strong background in personal finance, financial advising, banking, wealth management, tax planning, or related areas who value clear written and verbal communication. You’ll leverage your experience to evaluate financial scenarios, develop realistic prompts, create assessment rubrics, and provide nuanced feedback to support the development of AI systems capable of authentic financial reasoning.

Scope of Work

  1. Analyze and assess a variety of personal financial scenarios, leveraging industry expertise to ensure accurate evaluation.

  2. Design and draft realistic financial advising prompts that reflect genuine client inquiries and concerns.

  3. Develop structured rubrics for evaluating AI-generated financial recommendations based on accuracy, clarity, and ethical considerations.

  4. Provide detailed, actionable feedback on AI outputs, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement in financial reasoning.

  5. Collaborate asynchronously with project coordinators and other domain experts through written and verbal channels.

  6. Contribute insights from tax planning, investment, and personal finance best practices to shape project deliverables.

  7. Stay current with trends and regulatory changes affecting personal and household financial decisions where relevant.

Preferred Qualifications

  1. Demonstrated experience in financial advising, wealth management, banking, investment analysis, or tax planning.

  2. Familiarity with commonly used frameworks and rubrics for financial decision-making and client assessment.

  3. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly and concisely.

  4. Background in creating, reviewing, or applying financial guidance in real-world contexts for individuals or households.

  5. Analytical mindset and attention to detail when reviewing and critiquing content.

  6. Experience participating in remote or distributed project-based engagements a plus.

  7. Up-to-date knowledge of personal finance regulations, tax considerations, and industry standards.

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.
