About the Role

What if your expertise in advanced mathematics could directly shape how AI reasons through the world's most complex problems? We're looking for Mathematics Experts — Masters and PhD holders — to help train cutting-edge AI models to think more rigorously, solve harder problems, and reason with genuine mathematical depth.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working mathematicians, researchers, and academics who want to apply their expertise in a high-impact, well-compensated setting. No prior AI experience needed — just a deep command of mathematics and a commitment to precision.

  • 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 rigor
  • Apply your expertise in algebra, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or related fields to design complex, meaningful problem sets
  • Evaluate AI-generated mathematical reasoning and solutions for accuracy, depth, and clarity
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to improve model performance
  • Ensure mathematical precision and conceptual soundness across all deliverables
  • Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Hold a Master's or PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field
  • Deep expertise in one or more areas: algebra, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or adjacent domains
  • Comfortable working with Python, MATLAB, or Mathematica for research or applied problem-solving
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented — you notice when a proof is incomplete or an argument doesn't hold
  • Clear, precise written communicator who can explain complex ideas without sacrificing accuracy
  • Fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or AI training workflows
  • Background in mathematical research, academic publishing, or technical writing
  • Experience working across multiple areas of mathematics
  • Familiarity with AI tools or language model evaluation as an end user

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life, not the other way around
  • Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, intellectually challenging work
  • Make a direct, measurable impact on how AI understands and applies advanced mathematics
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
