Mathematics Specialist - The United States
$50-70
Mathematics experts are critical for frontier AI training. These roles involve formal proof verification (using Lean 4), abstract algebra evaluation, calculus problem assessment, and discrete mathematics verification. You will help AI understand rigorous mathematical reasoning and logical proof. Requires advanced mathematics education (preferably PhD). These are among the highest-paying and most specialized roles. Pay: $70-$110/hr.

Mathematics evaluation spans everything from calculus and linear algebra to abstract algebra, topology, and formal proof verification. Tasks present AI-generated proofs or solutions and ask you to identify logical gaps, incorrect lemma applications, or algebraic errors. Lean 4 and Mathlib formalization tasks are an emerging and well-compensated subsetโif you can write formal proofs in a proof assistant, premium tasks await. Combinatorics and number theory problems appear frequently, as do probability and statistics tasks. Some tasks ask you to write counter-examples to disprove AI conjectures. Work is self-paced and intellectually engaging. Graduate-level math background is typical for advanced tasks; solid undergraduate training is sufficient for foundational problem-solving roles.
Strongly preferred. PhD holders earn $80-110/hr. Master's level $70-90/hr. Bachelor's-only candidates typically don't qualify unless they have 5+ years specialized research/teaching experience.
Lean 4 is a theorem prover for formal mathematics. Not required to start, but high-demand roles use it. Learning Lean unlocks the highest-paying formal verification roles ($90-110/hr). Online courses available free.
Abstract algebra, real analysis, topology, and discrete mathematics most common. Formal verification and Lean 4 proof roles highest-paying. Applied math, numerical analysis also valued.
You're evaluating AI-generated proofs, problem-solving approaches, and mathematical reasoningโnot teaching a class. You spot errors, verify rigor, and assess whether AI understands mathematical concepts.
