The job description

About the Role

What if your expertise in mathematics could directly shape how AI reasons through the world's most complex problems? We're looking for Mathematics Specialists with advanced degrees to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models — crafting rigorous problems, stress-testing AI reasoning, and raising the bar for mathematical intelligence in AI systems used by millions.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for people who live and breathe mathematics. No AI background needed — just deep subject-matter expertise and a commitment to precision.

What You'll Do

Develop, solve, and review advanced mathematical problems with real-world relevance and rigorous structure
Apply your expertise in algebra, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or related fields to design complex, meaningful problem statements
Evaluate AI-generated mathematical reasoning for correctness, clarity, and depth
Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to improve model performance
Ensure mathematical rigor and precision across all deliverables
Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Master's or PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field
Deep expertise in one or more areas: algebra, calculus, statistics, or discrete mathematics
Comfortable coding in Python, MATLAB, or Mathematica for research or applied projects
Exceptionally detail-oriented — you catch errors others miss and hold your work to a high standard
Strong written communicator who can explain complex concepts with clarity
Fluent in English

Nice to Have

Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or AI evaluation workflows
Background in academic research, applied mathematics, or quantitative fields
Experience developing curriculum, assessments, or technical content
Familiarity with AI tools or mathematical reasoning benchmarks

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and applies advanced mathematics
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
