Actuarial & Pricing Expert
What you’ll do
Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in actuarial work. As an Actuarial & Pricing Expert, you’ll build long-horizon actuarial tasks that mirror the work you already do, each paired with a deterministic rubric that grades agent performance against verifiable ground truth. Tasks need to have checkable answers; no open-ended essays, no subjective judgment calls.
Expect to build scenarios across:
- Reserving: loss development triangles with ground-truth ultimates, IBNR calculations using chain-ladder or Bornhuetter-Ferguson, experience studies with documented expected results
- Pricing and rate indications: rate indication math with defined target loss ratios, experience rating factor calculations, pricing model refreshes with specified outputs
- Filings and treaties: rate filings with required exhibits and actuarial memoranda, reinsurance treaty analysis with computed cession amounts
These scenarios will be challenging and take long sessions of focus.
Who we’re looking for
- 3+ years in P&C or life actuarial work at a carrier, consultancy, or reinsurer
- ASA, FSA, ACAS, or FCAS exam progress or full designation strongly preferred
- Expertise in one or more of the following: loss reserving (chain-ladder, Bornhuetter-Ferguson, Cape Cod), rate indications and experience studies, IBNR methodology, rate filing preparation, reinsurance treaty analysis, an actuarial tool (Arius, ResQ, Igloo, R or Python for actuarial modeling)
- Comfortable reading and producing actuarial artifacts: loss triangles, rate indication exhibits, rate filing memoranda, treaty analyses
- Clear written communication; can articulate reasoning step by step and encode it into deterministic rubrics
Compensation
$115–$150/hr depending on domain depth and prior experience. Strong contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.
