Role details
Job description
Aptura is an applied AI research company. We work with frontier AI labs to improve how their models handle complex, real-world professional work in finance, legal, healthcare, policy and beyond. We do it by working with experienced practitioners who create versions of real work: the models, documents, presentations and analyses that show AI what good actually looks like.
The shape of the work
- Paid project work that is designed to run alongside full-time employment.
- Remote and asynchronous: you pick up discrete tasks and are paid per completed task
- Scope, fee, deadlines and payment terms are confirmed individually in writing before you start
- Your work is reviewed by senior professionals from your own field
What you might build
Depending on your background: financial models and investment presentations; legal drafting or document review; clinical and scientific analysis; policy briefs; or expert review of other contributors' work.
Who we're looking for People who have personally owned real work - you can describe what you built, who it was for, and what made it hard. We care about judgment over retrieval, and we value people who work well asynchronously and take feedback seriously.
What happens next We review your expression of interest and, where there's a potential fit, arrange a short call to discuss your experience, capacity and terms - then match you to a live project.
Why work at Aptura
- Culture: Mission-driven focus on building reliable AI for high-stakes domains; emphasis on domain expertise and real-world impact
- Remote/Hybrid Policy: Fully remote positions available (e.g., "Fully remote, part-time, and flexible" for expert roles; Investment Banking Associate roles listed as "Remote"); also has offices in London and San Francisco
- Compensation: Competitive hourly rates ($80–$200/hour for expert contractor roles) with monthly retainer structures for ongoing engagements
- Work style: Project-based and flexible engagements, targeting professionals who want to apply their domain expertise to cutting-edge AI development
- Team: Small (~26 employees) but includes highly specialized domain experts and AI researchers; likely high ownership and impact per person
