About the job
Please submit your CV in English and specify your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift partners with specialized professionals to connect them with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology firms, emphasizing the evaluation, testing, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is on a project-by-project basis rather than permanent employment.
Details of the Opportunity
Each project presents unique challenges, allowing contributors to:
- Craft original computational mathematics problems that reflect real-world mathematical research processes;
- Formulate problems that necessitate Python programming solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, SymPy);
- Ensure that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within reasonable time frames (days/weeks);
- Conceive problems that require intricate reasoning in fields like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis;
- Base the problems on genuine research difficulties or practical applications in mathematics;
- Validate solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified answers.
Candidate Profile
This role is ideal for mathematicians with Python expertise who are interested in part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Mathematics (Pure or Applied) or a related discipline;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience with numerical methods and symbolic computation;
- A knack for designing problems that emulate real mathematical research workflows;
- An understanding of computational complexity theory;
- Strong command of written English (C1 level or higher).

Project Time Requirements
For this project, tasks are anticipated to demand approximately 10–20 hours weekly during active phases, depending on project needs. This estimate does not guarantee a fixed workload and applies only during active project phases.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, based on their skill level and contribution pace. Compensation may vary across projects depending on their scope, complexity, and required expertise. Note that other projects on the platform may present different earning opportunities based on their specifications.
