AndrewCritchPhD · x · 2026-08-04
Numerai says it is forming a new team to build AI that can do quantitative research autonomously, all the time.
- The company says it already runs on thousands of machine learning models, and more of those models are being built by AI rather than people.
- The new team’s mandate is to improve features, risk models, and portfolio construction as the fund scales assets under management.
- It is hiring for an AI Scientist, Lead Software Engineer, and Senior Quantitative Researcher in San Francisco, with significant equity on offer.
