Mathematics & Python Expert – Freelance AI Trainer

Mindrift; Wisconsin; On-site; USD 63,000 - 105,000; Part time

Job summary

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focusing on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

We seek mathematicians with Python proficiency, strong English, and 2+ years of experience in numerical methods or symbolic computation. Projects run 10–20 hours per week with compensation based on contribution level.

Qualifications

• Degree in Mathematics (Pure or Applied) or related fields.
• Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent.
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable.
• Experience with numerical methods and symbolic computation.
• Ability to design problems that mirror real mathematical research workflows.
• Familiarity with computational complexity theory.
• Strong written English (C1+)

Responsibilities

• Design original computational mathematics problems that simulate real mathematical research workflows;
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from mathematical practice;
• Verify solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers

Job description

Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency. Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What This Opportunity Involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Design original computational mathematics problems that simulate real mathematical research workflows;
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from mathematical practice;
• Verify solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers

What We Look For

This opportunity is a good fit for mathematicians with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in Mathematics (Pure or Applied) or related fields;
• Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
• Experience with numerical methods and symbolic computation;
• Ability to design problems that mirror real mathematical research workflows;
• Familiarity with computational complexity theory;
• Strong written English (C1+)
