What if your deep knowledge of formal mathematics could directly shape how the most advanced AI systems in the world reason, prove, and think? We're looking for mathematicians with a passion for rigorous proof and formal systems to help build the mathematical foundations that frontier AI depends on.
This is a fully remote, adaptable contract role working at the intersection of pure mathematics, logic, and cutting-edge AI research. If you live and breathe formal proof — and especially if you know your way around Lean 4 — this is a rare opportunity to do deeply meaningful technical work on your own schedule.
- Formalize advanced mathematical arguments and theorems in Lean 4, spanning a wide range of mathematical disciplines
- Contribute to the growth and quality of large-scale formal mathematical libraries, including mathlib
- Construct clean, readable, and well-structured formal proofs that translate informal mathematical reasoning into rigorous machine-checkable form
- Audit and verify existing formal proofs for correctness, completeness, and logical integrity
- Work at the frontier of AI research, helping train the next generation of mathematically capable language models
Who You Are
- Hold a Master's degree or PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field
- Possess a strong background in rigorous mathematical proof writing and logical reasoning
- Have hands-on experience with formal proof assistants — Lean 4 strongly preferred
- Can fluently translate informal mathematical ideas into structured, machine-verifiable formal proofs
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with proof verification, theorem proving, or mathematical formalization projects
- Familiarity with mathlib or other large-scale formal mathematical libraries
- Background in data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
- Experience across multiple mathematical domains — topology, algebra, analysis, logic, and beyond
Why Join Us
- Work on frontier AI research alongside the world's leading AI labs and research teams
- Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your life, not the other way around
- Freelance autonomy with the intellectual depth of meaningful, high-stakes technical work
- Contribute directly to formal mathematical libraries that will outlast any single project
- Gain rare exposure to how cutting-edge large language models are built and trained
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
