About The Position
Frontier AI models have made remarkable progress on general reasoning, but they still struggle with the kind of nuanced judgment that defines good banking work; reading between the lines of an MD&A, structuring around a covenant, knowing when a comp set is misleading, sensing when a model's outputs don't quite hang together. Closing that gap requires institutional finance expertise, applied directly to AI training. Aptura partners with leading foundational AI labs to bring real-world finance, healthcare, and legal expertise into AI development. Our founders are ex-Lazard and Partners Group, and we operate out of London and San Francisco. We're now expanding our India cohort and looking for sharp investment banking associates in Bangalore. You'll work directly on improving how frontier AI handles corporate finance and gain rare, early exposure to how AI labs actually develop their models.
Requirements
- 3–4 years of IB or Corporate Finance experience at a top international bank (bulge bracket, elite boutique, top-tier global advisory).
- Associate level; sector agnostic.
- Strong modelling and valuation skills (DCF, LBO, comps, precedents).
- Sharp written communication and attention to detail.
- Genuine intellectual curiosity about AI in finance.
Responsibilities
- Develop realistic, deal-relevant prompts and iterate on AI outputs to test reasoning quality.
- Systematically map where AI reasoning falls short of professional banker judgment.
- Translate how bankers navigate ambiguity, structure transactions, and stress-test assumptions into problems that challenge frontier AI.
- Build and validate real-world DCFs, LBOs, comps, and deal cases used to evaluate AI systems.
Benefits
- Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience
- Referral bonus: For any successful referral hired into this role
