Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We’re training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.
We obsess over what we build. Each one of us is responsible for contributing to increasing the capabilities of our models and the value they drive for our customers. We like to work hard and move fast to do what’s best for our customers.
Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.
Join us on our mission and shape the future!
Why this role?
We are on a mission to build machines that understand the world and make them safely accessible to all. Data quality is foundational to this process. Machines (or Large Language Models to be exact) learn in similar ways to humans - by way of feedback. By labelling, ranking, auditing, and correcting text output, you will improve Large Language Model’s performance for iterations to come, thus having a lasting impact on Cohere’s tech.
This role will have you focus on financial modelling and finance-based questions. You will teach the Cohere model how to perform across a variety of different functions and logic.
Please Note: This is a part-time independent contractor position available within Canada only. We seek candidates who are able to commit to 16 hours per week at a CAD $30/hour contract rate. This role is BYOD - Bring Your Own Device (laptop). Remote work within Canada is permitted. Performance incentives included!
As an AI Data Trainer, you will:
- Evaluate the model’s ability to respond to objective financial queries ( you will not be giving financial advice)
- Write financial prompts along with verified information to evaluate the accuracy of the model’s responses
- Label, proofread, and improve machine-written and human-written financial outputs.
- Follow our style guide, and make recommendations on unique situations that fall outside of its scope.
You may be a good fit if you have:
- 2+ years of industry experience working in the finance sector
- An education background in finance (Bachelors, Masters or similar)
- Experience with preparing and understanding financial statements, key metrics, business acumen
- Experience with risk analysis processes
- Experience with financial modelling/analysis that informs strategic decision-making

Initial Screening - Once you have submitted your application our Talent Team will review your resume and writing samples.
Multiple Choice Assessment - This short assessment will test your attention to detail and general finance skills.
Specialized Annotation Test - If you achieve a passing score on the multiple-choice assessment, you will receive a specialized assessment that will test your financial acumen.
Video Interview - If selected to move forward, you will have a short video call with a member of our Operations Team!
Contract - You will receive and sign your Independent Contractor Agreement.
As an independent contractor, you maintain control over how you complete your work and may work with multiple clients simultaneously, although we ask you to declare if any of these are with a direct competitor of Cohere and maintain IP confidentiality of the Cohere project. Independent contractors are not eligible for health benefits or other benefits provided to employees. Compensation for services is provided to contractors by contractors invoicing for services provided pursuant to the terms of our agreement with the contractor.
It is important to understand that as an independent contractor, continuous work is not guaranteed. The client-contractor relationship is fundamentally project-based, meaning engagements may be temporary, periodic, or intermittent based on our organizational needs and project availability. As an independent contractor, you should anticipate fluctuations in workflow and, therefore, compensation for services when Cohere does not require as many hours of services in a week.
Prospective candidates, please be advised: this role may involve exposure to Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content, including explicit, offensive, or other inappropriate material.
If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you want to work really hard on a glorious mission with teammates that want the same thing, Cohere is the place for you.
We value and celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive work environment for all. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form, and we will work together to meet your needs.
