Mindrift connects mathematicians with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies. You will design computational math problems that require Python solutions and non-trivial reasoning, ensuring they are too intensive to solve manually in a reasonable time.

Projects are part-time and non-permanent, with compensation tied to hours worked. The role suits someone with a math degree and strong Python skills, plus experience in numerical methods and symbolic computation.

Qualifications

Degree in Mathematics (Pure or Applied) or related field.
Proficiency in Python for numerical validation.
2+ years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles.
Experience with numerical methods and symbolic computation.
Ability to design problems mirroring real mathematical research workflows.
Familiarity with computational complexity theory.
Strong written English (C1+).

Responsibilities

Design original computational mathematics problems simulating real research workflows.
Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (Numpy, SciPy, Sympy).
Ensure problems are computationally intensive and non-manual to solve.
Develop problems involving number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis.
Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications.
Verify solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries.
Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.
