Mathematician

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.
