Math Expert or Specialist (AI Training)
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
