Quantitative Strategist

Summary

DataAnnotation is a company focused on developing cutting-edge AI systems. They are seeking experienced quantitative professionals to evaluate AI-generated quantitative analysis and provide feedback that shapes AI models' reasoning about data and scientific problems.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate AI-generated quantitative work, including statistical analysis, predictive modeling, scientific reasoning, and data-driven insights, for technical accuracy and real-world validity
• Design and solve quantitative problems used to train and benchmark AI systems, spanning areas like forecasting, experimental analysis, optimization, and statistical inference
• Write clear technical explanations and well-documented analytical code
• Provide feedback that directly shapes the next generation of AI models built for quantitative reasoning

Skills

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in a quantitative role or research environment — such as data science, statistics, economics, finance, physics, biology, epidemiology, operations research, or any adjacent field
• Some coding experience required, with comfort writing and reviewing analytical code end-to-end
• Practical experience with statistical methods, predictive modeling, and experiment design (e.g., A/B testing, hypothesis testing, regression, classification, time-series forecasting)
• Fluency in English (native or bilingual level) with strong writing skills
• A bachelor's degree in a quantitative field is preferred (Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or similar); a master's or PhD is a plus
• Relevant credentials are a plus (e.g., Kaggle Competition ranking, AWS/GCP ML certifications, or equivalent demonstrated expertise)
