Overview
SME Careers, a fast-growing AI data services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, seeks a Mathematics Specialist to contribute remotely to AI training initiatives. You will review AI training content and AI outputs, assess the quality of step-by-step reasoning, and provide expert feedback that helps models produce accurate, clearly explained results. Your work includes fact-checking quantitative information across sources and translating advanced theory into clear mathematical explanations and model solutions. There is currently no active project, but qualified experts will be contacted first when opportunities arise.
What You'll Do7
- 1Design detailed AI training prompts and example responses across topics that span both pure and applied mathematics.
- 2Review and annotate AI-generated solutions, focusing on step-by-step reasoning and mathematical correctness.
- 3Evaluate multiple model outputs for accuracy and clarity, delivering precise feedback to guide future iterations.
- 4Identify errors in calculations or assumptions and document findings to inform model improvement.
- 5Fact-check quantitative claims across sources and craft rigorous mathematical explanations and sample solutions.
- 6Rate competing responses based on correctness and reasoning quality to support model updates.
- 7Collaborate with the expert network to align outputs with training goals and quality standards.
Requirements8
- 1MS or PhD in mathematics, statistics, or a related field from a top 100 university.
- 2Proficiency in both pure and applied mathematics, modeling, probability theory, and optimization.
- 3Expert at fact-checking information using public sources across multiple domains.
- 4Clear mathematical communication that translates theory into practical solutions for AI training.
- 5Background in research, analytical writing, debate, programming, or mathematics.
- 6English proficiency at C1 or higher with excellent writing skills.
- 7For PhD holders: demonstrated development or critical review of complex math content (e.g., problem banks, proofs, textbook sections).
- 8Bonus: data labeling, RLHF, or AI model evaluation experience.
Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates hold an MS or PhD in mathematics or statistics from a recognized university and can demonstrate deep mastery of theory and application. You thrive at fact-checking data across domains and producing precise, accessible mathematical explanations. This role suits researchers or writers with programming or analytical backgrounds who can contribute to AI model evaluation and labeling. It is less suitable for applicants lacking advanced mathematical training, strong English writing, or hands-on experience with AI training pipelines. Candidates who cannot provide concrete examples of mathematical content development or critical review may score low on fit.

Micro1
VerifiedMathematics Expert
micro1 is seeking sharp Mathematics Experts for a high-impact project that involves training the next generation of AI systems. In this fully remote contract role, you'll put your deep knowledge of advanced mathematics to work — no prior AI experience needed. Your contributions will directly influence how AI models reason and solve problems through high-quality, real-world data input.
Turing
VerifiedMathematics Expert (Master’s/Ph.D.)
This role works on projects that assess and refine large language models using advanced mathematical reasoning. You will design challenging multi-step problems, solve them on your own, and translate proofs into the formal language of Lean. The job also involves writing reliable Python code for computational tasks, verifying numerical answers, and providing detailed feedback on model-generated solutions. A solid background in mathematics at the graduate or PhD level is essential, along with the ability to break down abstract ideas for non-experts. The engagement is a freelance contract that requires 20 to 40 hours per week, with a 4-hour overlap with Pacific Time.
Handshake AI
VerifiedMathematics Expert - AI Evaluation Project
Handshake AI seeks mathematicians and research scientists for part-time contract work that supports AI research. You will craft expert-level math problems drawn from real proof, formalization, and computational workflows. Then you assess model answers for technical accuracy and rigor, and send structured written feedback that helps the system reason more like a working mathematician. The fellowship runs remote and asynchronous, so you choose your hours and carry the work alongside another role.
SME Careers
VerifiedMathematics QA Lead for AI Training Data Projects Remote
Remote contract role overseeing mathematics content for AI training data projects. You will review AI-generated math explanations and proofs, assess them against project rubrics, and deliver precise feedback to trainers and QAs. Maintain documentation, style guides, calibration tasks, and onboarding materials while coordinating with distributed teams to uphold consistent quality. Strong LaTeX-driven notation, Python-assisted calculations, and meticulous attention to detail are essential.
Micro1
VerifiedMath Expert PhD for AI Training: Remote Contract
A remote contractor role for PhD-level mathematicians to support an AI training project. You’ll craft detailed, accurate responses to undergraduate and graduate level math prompts and create high-quality “golden” answers for model training. Collaboration with a distributed expert team ensures clarity and educational value, while you interpret complex problems into clear explanations. Your domain knowledge in mathematics is the key asset, and no AI background is required.
Mercor
VerifiedMathematics Expert - Remote AI Training (Part-Time)
Mercor keeps a standing pool of mathematicians for AI training and evaluation projects rather than a single opening. Research teams at major AI labs need human judgment on math problems and proofs, and they rely on experts to build rubrics and grade model output. Work can arrive on short notice, so the pool stays open even when no project runs this week. Assignments cover tasks like writing research or competition-level problems, checking each proof step, reviewing edge cases, and spotting answers that look right but lack proof. Contracts in this field have paid $40 to $75 per hour, and Mercor sets each rate by project scope and depth.
