Description
Lightly AG is an ETH and HSG spin-off pioneering in machine learning and computer vision. Backed by Y Combinator and top-tier investors, our technology is used by global leaders in autonomous driving, medical imaging, and visual inspection.
With a small but sharp team in Zurich, we’re looking for analytical and driven Finance Professionals to help us translate complex finance concepts into AI-readable formats.
This role suits someone with a background in finance, economics, or engineering with experience in any of the following:
• Corporate Finance
• Private Equity / Venture Capital
• M&A / Investment Banking
• Asset Management
• Accounting
Estimated project scope of approximately 15 hours/week. Project expected to begin early July.
Tasks
We are launching a project focused on evaluating AI-generated financial analysis and market event reasoning. You'll review AI outputs covering stock price movements, earnings events, commodity dynamics, and cross-market relationships — and assess whether the AI's logic actually holds up.
You'll be a good fit if you have experience in equity research, financial analysis, or quantitative finance, and are comfortable with:
• OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) stock data and price-volume relationships
• Earnings-driven price movements and market event analysis
• Commodity markets — energy (crude, natural gas), metals (gold, silver, copper), agriculture (corn, soybeans, wheat, coffee)
• Cross-channel analysis — understanding how price channels and volume interact
• Financial news verification — checking whether cited market events actually happened
Requirements
You’re a strong candidate if you:
• Are fluent in English
• Have strong analytical and quantitative skills and are confident working with financial models and valuation frameworks
• Communicate clearly and precisely
Benefits
• Work directly with a YC-backed team on cutting-edge AI evaluation projects
• Competitive compensation tailored to experience and scope of work
