About the job
Mindrift connects subject matter experts with AI projects for leading technology companies, focusing on testing, evaluation, and improvement of AI systems. This is a project-based freelance role, not a permanent position.
Role overview
As a Mathematics & Python Specialist, freelance AI trainers work on a range of challenging projects. Tasks may include:
- Creating original computational mathematics problems that mirror real mathematical research workflows
- Designing problems that require Python programming to solve, often using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, or Sympy
- Ensuring problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually in a reasonable timeframe
- Developing problems involving complex reasoning in areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis
- Basing problems on real-world research challenges or practical mathematical applications
- Validating solutions in Python with established mathematical libraries
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified solutions
Requirements
- Degree in Mathematics (Pure or Applied) or a related field
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar tools is also accepted
- At least 2 years of professional experience, which may include applied, research, or teaching roles
- Experience with numerical methods and symbolic computation
- Ability to design problems reflecting authentic mathematical research workflows
- Understanding of computational complexity theory
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or higher)
Process
The process includes: Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive payment.
