Job description

Remote Mathematics Specialist (Lean proof assistant) - 33883

About Turing: Turing is one of the world's fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Turing helps customers by collaborating with leading AI labs to push frontier model capabilities and by building real-world AI systems that address mission-critical priorities.

Role Overview: We are seeking PhD-level Mathematicians to join a frontier AI R&D team focused on developing high-quality [problem, solution] data targeting known failure patterns in current top language models. You will work directly with the founders to create mathematical tasks that challenge deep conceptual understanding, similar to FrontierMath or IMO-level problems. Experience with competitive math (IMO coaching/problem-setting/winning) is a plus but not required. We are open to developing strong PhD talent in this area.

What You'll Do:

• Design and solve challenging math problems that reveal weaknesses in large language models.
• Create high-quality, step-by-step solutions with clear reasoning, including multimodal support such as equations, visuals, graphs, and simulations.
• Collaborate with founders to align problem types with model evaluation goals, especially in areas where models often struggle (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
• Help define new evaluation benchmarks inspired by high-school olympiad math, early undergraduate curricula, and theoretical mathematics.
• Mentor and review work from other math contributors or junior team members.

What We're Looking For:

• PhD (or strong MSc) in Mathematics or a related field.
• Strong problem-solving skills and experience designing and solving non-standard problems.
• Excellent communication skills, especially in explaining step-by-step mathematical reasoning.
• Experience with Lean (preferred) or other theorem provers like Coq, Isabelle, HOL Light.
• Familiarity with LaTeX and math visualization tools (Desmos, GeoGebra, Python/Matplotlib).
• Nice-to-have: Olympiad-level competition experience, exposure to AI/LLM research, especially in evaluation or reasoning tasks.

Technical Setup: Reliable internet, desktop/laptop, and necessary software for mathematical computations, visual content creation, simulations, and online collaboration.

Job Benefits: Collaborative environment, flexible hours, remote work, and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.

Note: Shortlisted candidates may be required to complete an assessment during the selection process.
