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 creation 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.
- Apply advanced mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, computational thinking, and clear written communication to improve and evaluate large language models.

Required Qualifications
- Strong analytical and research skills with the ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
- Creative and lateral thinking abilities to approach complex problems innovatively.
- Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills, especially in a remote working environment.
- Self-motivated and capable of working independently with a reliable desktop or laptop and a good internet connection.
- Solid foundation in mathematics at a level comparable to engineering entrance exams and graduate or PhD-level programs.
- Ability to break down complex mathematical concepts into simple, clear explanations.

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.
- Proven ability to analyze and solve complex mathematical problems using a structured and logical approach.
- Skill in explaining mathematical concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and examples.

Perks of Freelancing with Turing
- Fully remote work environment offering flexibility and convenience.
- Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with leading large language model companies.
- Potential for contract extension based on performance and project requirements.

Offer Details
- Minimum commitment of 4 hours per day and at least 20 hours per week, with a required 4-hour overlap with Pacific Standard Time (PST). Options for 20, 30, or 40 hours per week are available.
- Engagement is on a contractor/freelancer basis, with no medical or paid leave benefits.

This role offers a unique opportunity to future-proof your career by working at the intersection of advanced mathematics and AI, contributing to the development and evaluation of state-of-the-art language models in a dynamic, remote setting.
