Job description

Role overview

This opportunity is for a remote contract specialist focused on financial-services fraud investigation work. The role is part of a team that partners with AI research groups to create realistic, high-rigor evaluation tasks based on real-world fraud and financial-crime workflows.

The company connects specialized creative and technical talent with leading AI labs. It is headquartered in San Francisco and is backed by investors including Benchmark, General Catalyst, Peter Thiel, Adam D'Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey.

What you will do

  • Create a believable digital work environment built around the folders and files used in day-to-day fraud investigation work, including case files, investigation summaries, SAR and CTR drafts, typology memoranda, alert triage notes, and email exchanges.
  • Model realistic multi-step assignments that require moving across several tools, documents, and stakeholders to thoroughly test frontier AI agents.
  • Work with other fraud and financial-crime professionals to define the environment, refine scope, and validate that scenarios are both realistic and rigorous.
  • Coordinate asynchronously with research teams to improve task design and the criteria used to evaluate agent performance in fraud-investigation benchmarks.
  • Help advance frontier AI research by contributing benchmark content that supports how leading labs train and assess next-generation systems.

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of full-time experience in fraud or financial-crime work at a large bank, Fortune 500 institution, major card issuer, fintech company, or insurance organization.
  • Hands-on exposure to BSA/AML compliance, OFAC sanctions screening, and SAR/CTR reporting.
  • Practical background in fraud operations, financial-crime investigations, or insurance claims fraud.
  • Regular, daily use of tools such as Refinitiv World-Check, Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, Splunk SIEM, or Microsoft Sentinel.
  • Strong analytical reasoning and business writing abilities.
  • Preferred credentials include CAMS, CFE, or CFCS certifications.

Compensation and other details

Pay is task-based, with compensation generally in the range of $1,150 to $1,450 for each completed task, depending on quality. Strong performers may also be eligible for a weekly bonus, and top contributors may later move to an hourly pay structure.

Application process

The application process is expected to take about 20 to 30 minutes and includes three steps: uploading a resume, completing an AI interview based on that resume, and submitting the form.

Support and additional information

Questions or support requests can be sent to [email protected]. The team reviews applications every day. Complete both the AI interview and the rest of the application steps to be considered.
