Leading frontier AI research lab on an exciting math project. We are seeking individuals with demonstrated expertise in Olympiad-style mathematics and problem setting. We’re inviting math competition problem writers, selection committee members, medalists participants& to help push the boundaries of AI reasoning by training large language models to tackle Olympiad-level problems better than the world’s top competitors.
This role is a short-term, high-impact research engagement, with the possibility of extension based on performance.
Key Responsibilities
• Write original advanced IMO-style mathematics problems to challenge frontier AI models
• Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, clarity, and style
• Identify logical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently rigorous proofs
• Provide clear, concise, and correct solutions chain of thought reasoning
• Maintain extremely high standards of mathematical precision and problem difficulty
Required Qualifications
Note: Applicants must be highly proficient in writing and formatting documents using LaTeX& You are a good fit for the project if you have any of the following experiences:
• Problem writer
• Coach
• Selection committee member
• Medalist (gold, silver, bronze)
• Participant
And have participated in any of the following mathematics competitions (Note: Preference will be given for IMO RMM participation, but we welcome applications from all competitions below):
• IMO
• IMO TST
• RMM
• USAMO
• APMO
• IMC
• EGMO
You should have:
• Expertise across algebra, combinatorics, and number theory
• Ability to clearly articulate complex reasoning in written form
• Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions
• Independent, reliable, and disciplined work style
More About the Opportunity
• Expected commitment: 20 hours/week minimum; up to 40 hours/week available
• Approximate project length: ~2 months, with extension potential
• Rolling start dates; setup typically within 1–2 days of approval
Compensation
• This engagement uses a& pay-per-task model,& with payments tied to each fully completed and accepted problem or review.
• Compensation per task varies based on factors such as problem difficulty, solution quality, and overall efficiency, and contributors are free to choose how many tasks they complete.
