About the job
Mindrift connects skilled professionals with project-based AI assignments for leading technology companies. These roles focus on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. All work is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Role overview
This freelance position centers on creating and validating advanced computational mathematics problems that mirror genuine research workflows. Projects often require designing challenges that demand Python programming, using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, or Sympy, for solution and verification. Problems should be computationally intensive, typically unsolvable by hand within a practical timeframe, and may involve areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, or numerical analysis. Clear documentation and verified solutions are essential for every problem developed.
What you will do
- Design original mathematics problems based on real research or practical applications
- Formulate challenges that require Python for resolution and validation
- Ensure problems are complex and computationally demanding
- Validate solutions using Python and standard mathematical libraries
- Document problem statements and provide correct, verified 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, or SciPy is also accepted
- At least 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles
- Experience with numerical methods and symbolic computation
- Ability to design problems that reflect authentic mathematical research workflows
- Familiarity with computational complexity theory
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level)
Project structure and time commitment
Work is assigned on a project basis. The typical process: apply, pass qualification(s), join a project, complete tasks, and receive payment. For this project, expect to spend around 10–20 hours per week during active phases. Actual workload may vary depending on project needs.
Compensation
Contributors may earn up to $76 per hour, based on expertise and pace. Compensation varies by project scope, complexity, and required skills. Other projects on the platform may offer different rates depending on their specific requirements.
To apply, submit your CV in English and include your English proficiency level.
