Role: Mathematics Researcher with Lean theorem provers experience (PhD/Doctoral study/Masters' degree)

Duration: 3-6 months (Full Time Contract)

Location: Remote (USA)

About the Role

Role Overview: We're looking for PhD-level Mathematicians to work with a frontier AI R&D team focused on crafting high-quality [problem, solution] data that targets known failure patterns in today's top language models. You will work directly with the founders, helping create mathematical tasks that reflect deep conceptual challenges-comparable to those found in FrontierMath or IMO-level problem-solving. Prior experience with competitive math (IMO coaching/problem-setting/winning) is a plus, but not required-we're open to grooming strong PhD talent into this space.

What does day-to-day look like:

  • Design and solve challenging math problems that expose weaknesses in large language models.
  • Create high-quality, step-by-step solutions with clear reasoning and multimodal support (equations, visuals, graphs, simulations).
  • Collaborate with founders to align problem types with model evaluation goals, particularly in topics where models typically fail (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
  • Help define new evaluation benchmarks inspired by high-school olympiad math, early undergrad curriculum, and theoretical mathematics.
  • Mentor/coach or review work from other math contributors or junior collaborators.

Requirements:

  • PhD (or strong MSc) in Mathematics or a closely related field.
  • Strong problem-solving background-comfortable designing and solving non-standard problems.
  • Excellent communication and writing skills, especially in explaining step-by-step mathematical reasoning.
  • Familiarity with LaTeX and math visualization tools (Desmos, GeoGebra, Python/Matplotlib, etc.).
  • Nice-to-Have experience with Olympiad level competitions (as a contestant, coach, or problem-setter)
  • Exposure to AI/LLM research, especially on evaluation or reasoning tasks.
  • Technical Setup: Desktop/Laptop with reliable internet connection and necessary software for mathematical computations, visual content creation, simulations, and online collaboration.

What we provide:

  • Collaborative work environment with other math enthusiasts.
  • Flexible working hours and remote work environment.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
