Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI assignments for leading technology companies. These roles focus on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. All participation is project-based and does not represent permanent employment.
Role overview
This freelance Mathematics and Python Specialist position centers on designing and validating computational mathematics problems for AI training. Each project brings distinct challenges and may involve:
- Creating original computational mathematics problems that reflect real mathematical research workflows
- Formulating problems that require Python programming to solve, using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy
- Ensuring problems are computationally intensive and not practically solvable by hand
- Developing problems involving complex reasoning in areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis
- Basing problems on genuine research challenges or practical mathematical scenarios
- Verifying solutions in Python with established mathematical libraries
- Documenting problems clearly and providing verified correct answers
Requirements
- Degree in Mathematics (Pure or Applied) or a related discipline
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, or other programming languages is also acceptable
- At least 2 years of professional experience in applied mathematics, research, or teaching
- Background in numerical methods and symbolic computation
- Ability to design problems that mirror mathematical research workflows
- Knowledge of computational complexity theory
- Strong written English skills (C1 or higher)
How projects work
The process includes: Apply → Complete qualification(s) → Join a project → Execute tasks → Receive payment.
Time commitment
During active project phases, tasks typically require 10–20 hours per week, depending on project needs. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, depending on experience and contribution pace. Actual rates vary by project scope, complexity, and expertise required. Other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their needs.
