The role, as AfterQuery describes it

This is a remote, project-based role for machine learning researchers and engineers with deep expertise in natural language processing applied to financial data and systems. You will complete tasks at the intersection of NLP and finance — including model development, fine-tuning, and research tasks applied to earnings calls, financial filings, market sentiment, news analytics, and other text-rich financial data sources. Work is over the next 2–3 weeks, asynchronous, and assigned on a project-by-project basis, with an expected commitment of 10–20 hours per week for the projects you accept. This position offers exceptional pay, exposure to cutting-edge finance NLP research, and a strong addition to your research portfolio.
