Mathematics Expert (Masters/PhDs)

$75-90/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

About the Role

What if your years of advanced mathematical training could directly shape how AI reasons through the hardest problems in the world? We're looking for Mathematics Experts — Masters and PhD holders — to help build and refine the mathematical reasoning capabilities of cutting-edge AI models.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You'll work asynchronously alongside world-class AI research teams, applying your deep expertise to problems that matter. No prior AI experience required — your mathematical mastery is what we need.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Develop, solve, and review advanced mathematical problems with real-world relevance and depth
  • Design complex problem statements drawing on expertise in algebra, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or related fields
  • Evaluate AI-generated mathematical reasoning for rigor, accuracy, and clarity
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to identify gaps and improve model outputs
  • Ensure every deliverable meets the highest standards of mathematical precision and depth

Who You Are

  • Holder of a Master's or PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field
  • Deeply fluent in at least one core area: algebra, calculus, statistics, or discrete mathematics
  • Experienced with Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, or similar tools for research or computational work
  • A precise, detail-oriented thinker who takes rigor seriously
  • A clear and effective written communicator — you can explain complex ideas without sacrificing accuracy
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an asynchronous environment

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
  • Background in applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, or quantitative research
  • Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts as they relate to formal reasoning
  • Experience writing or reviewing mathematical content for academic or technical audiences

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects alongside leading research labs pushing the boundaries of what AI can reason through
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life, not the other way around
  • Freelance autonomy with the substance of genuinely challenging, intellectually stimulating work
  • Make a direct, lasting impact on how AI systems understand and apply advanced mathematics
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
