About The Position
Mentis AI works at the intersection of institutional investment expertise and frontier AI systems. Our team combines deep asset management experience (Lazard, Partners Group) with machine learning and applied AI research. Operating across London and San Francisco, we collaborate with leading AI labs to improve how models reason, generalize, and make decisions in high-stakes financial contexts. This residency is designed for senior research analysts and portfolio managers who want exposure and a meaningful experience towards the direction of AI in your domain and earn early, practical exposure at using advanced AI system.
Requirements
- 4+ years at an established hedge fund as a PM or (Senior) Analyst

- Strong ability to build and communicate investment theses, credit analyses, or systematic frameworks in writing
- Experience with position sizing, risk management, and high-accountability investment environments
Responsibilities
- Develop and iterate realistic prompts that you would ask a junior role to test the relevance and quality of AI-generated insights.
- Compare human vs. machine judgment: Systematically evaluate divergence between portfolio-manager/analyst views and AI outputs across equities, credit, macro and multi-strategy hedge-fund contexts.
- Design frameworks: Translate how hedge funds source ideas, build investment theses, size positions, manage portfolio and factor risk into problems that push the limits of AI reasoning.
- Construct expert benchmarks: Build and validate real-world credit cases, client-coverage systems and portfolio management frameworks used to evaluate frontier AI systems.
