Remote Lean 4 Formal Methods Researcher

Alignerr Corp.; Cambridge; À distance; GBP 83 000 - 165 000; Temps partiel

Résumé du poste

Alignerr is seeking an Applied Formal Methods Researcher to translate rigorous proofs into Lean 4 formalizations, contributing to cutting-edge AI research and formal verification. This fully remote, hourly-contract role invites mathematicians with a passion for proof assistants to shape AI foundations and collaborate with AI researchers on verification pipelines.

You'll work 10–40 hours per week, designing clear proof scripts and identifying gaps in proof libraries, with potential for ongoing

Qualifications

• Hold a Master's degree or higher in Mathematics, Logic, Theoretical Computer Science, or a closely related field.
• Strong foundation in rigorous proof writing across areas such as algebra, analysis, topology, logic, or discrete mathematics.
• Experience with Lean and/or other proof assistants is highly desirable.

Responsabilités

• Translate informal mathematical proofs into precise, machine-verifiable formalizations in Lean 4.
• Analyze proofs to identify gaps, hidden assumptions, and formalizable sub-structures.
• Construct formalizations that push the limits of proof assistants and automated tools.
• Collaborate with AI researchers to improve formal verification pipelines.
• Develop readable, reproducible proof scripts aligned with best practices.
• Provide guidance on proof decomposition, lemma selection, and structuring techniques.
• Investigate why automated provers struggle and articulate the limitations.
• Formalize classical proofs to reveal deeper patterns.
