Math Expert or Specialist
About this role
About the Role What if your years of advanced mathematical training could directly shape how AI reasons, solves problems, and thinks — for millions of people around the world? We're looking for Mathematics and Statistics experts to help fine-tune the next generation of large language models by designing rigorous problems, evaluating AI reasoning, and pushing the boundaries of what these systems can do. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for PhDs and advanced researchers. No AI background needed — just deep mathematical expertise and a sharp analytical mind. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design advanced, multi-step math problems that rigorously test AI performance across areas like abstract reasoning, symbolic manipulation, and proof construction - Develop clear, logically structured, step-by-step solutions to serve as gold-standard benchmarks - Evaluate AI-generated outputs for mathematical accuracy, depth of reasoning, and solution quality - Collaborate with researchers to refine and expand benchmarks spanning undergraduate through PhD-level mathematics - Provide detailed, structured feedback that directly improves how leading AI models handle complex quantitative reasoning Who You Are - Currently pursuing or holding a PhD in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field - Strong mathematical reasoning across advanced domains — from analysis and algebra to probability and beyond - Able to communicate complex ideas clearly and precisely in writing - Detail-oriented and methodical — you notice when logic breaks down and you know how to fix it - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on an asynchronous schedule - No prior AI or machine learning experience required Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or quality assessment workflows - Familiarity with AI tools or large language models as an end user - Background spanning multiple mathematical disciplines — pure, applied, computational, or statistical - Prior work in academic research, tutoring, or curriculum design Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and top AI teams - Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you - Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work - Gain rare, hands-on exposure to how frontier AI models are trained and evaluated - Contribute to work that raises the bar for mathematical reasoning in AI — at a global scale - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
