Key Responsibilities

- Design original and challenging mathematics problems that push the reasoning capabilities of large language models, focusing on multi-step, abstract, and proof-based scenarios.
- Independently solve complex problems and produce detailed, logically structured solutions with clear justifications.
- Review model-generated solutions to identify mathematical errors or gaps, providing precise feedback, annotations, and corrections.
- Contribute to the development of new evaluation benchmarks aligned with Mathematics curricula ranging from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.
- Develop and validate Python-based solutions for computational tasks using approved scientific libraries.
- Work on theorem-prover tasks using Lean, including translating mathematical problems and proofs into formal language and verifying that formal proofs compile correctly.

Required Qualifications

- Strong analytical and research skills with the ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
- Creative and lateral thinking capabilities to approach problems innovatively.
- Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills, especially in a remote work environment.
- Self-motivated and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
- Access to a desktop or laptop with a reliable internet connection.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits

Candidates pursuing or holding a Master’s, Ph.D., or Postdoctoral degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related fields are highly encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate can analyze and solve complex mathematical problems using a structured, logical approach and explain mathematical concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and examples.

Freelancers at Turing enjoy the flexibility of working fully remotely and the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI projects with leading large language model companies. There is potential for contract extension based on performance and project requirements.
