About the role

This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on experience in pure or applied mathematics to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing mathematician.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.

Responsibilities

  • Use your domain expertise to create expert-level mathematics problems and scenarios grounded in real proof, formalization, and computational workflows.
  • Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, rigor, and alignment with how the work is actually done.
  • Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance.

Experience and education

Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:

  • Research experience — first-author publications and the ability to formalize proofs that AI models fail on.

  • Degree — PhD in Mathematics (pure or applied).

  • Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas:

    • Proof and formal methods (Lean, Coq, Isabelle).

    • Symbolic computation (SageMath, Mathematica), optimization, and numerical analysis.

    • A core subfield such as algebra, topology, number theory, or combinatorics.

Candidates who meet at least 2 of the 3 qualifications above are also encouraged to apply.

Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

  • Proficiency with theorem provers and symbolic computation software.

  • Experience formalizing proofs or working on problems at the edge of what current AI models can handle.

Required for all applicants

  • Must have Indian work authorization.

  • Strong written communication and attention to detail.

  • Ability to explain complex mathematical concepts clearly.

  • Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.

Schedule details

Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement.

Eligibility

Work arrangement: Fully remote

Eligible countries: India

Compensation details

Up to $47 per hour.

  • Depending on the project.
