Mathematician (AI Training)

DataAnnotation

New Zealand3 days ago
Full time

What the role involves

  • Crafting mathematical problems
  • Reviewing AI solutions
  • Writing rigorous solutions

What they ask for

Strong background in pure or applied mathematics through graduate study, competition math, or equivalent experience; ability to write precise, well-structured proofs; clear written English

About the job

Overview

Frontier models still fail at rigorous multi-step mathematics: invalid derivations, unjustified leaps, and confidently wrong final answers. Automated checks can't grade a proof. You can.

As a Mathematician you'll evaluate and correct mathematical reasoning across everything from competition problems to graduate-level material, and your judgment becomes the standard the models learn from.

What you’ll actually do

  • Craft problems that expose weak mathematical reasoning, from olympiad-style puzzles to graduate-level proofs.
  • Review AI solutions step by step: catch invalid derivations, flag unjustified leaps, and rate the quality of the reasoning.
  • Write the gold-standard solution when the model falls short, with the rigor of a referee report.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: Mathematician, Applied Mathematician.

What we look for

  • Strong background in pure or applied mathematics through graduate study, competition math, or equivalent experience.
  • Fluency writing precise, well-structured proofs (LaTeX comfort helps).
  • Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
  • No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
