About this role, in Alignerr's words
What if your years of rigorous mathematical training could directly shape how AI reasons through the world's hardest problems? We're looking for Math Experts to help push the boundaries of what AI can do — designing challenging problems, stress-testing AI reasoning, and helping build the benchmarks that define the frontier of machine intelligence.
What you'll do
- Design advanced, original math problems that rigorously test AI performance across areas like multi-step reasoning, abstraction, and symbolic manipulation
- Develop clear, logically rigorous step-by-step solutions that serve as gold-standard references
- Evaluate AI-generated outputs for mathematical accuracy, depth of reasoning, and solution quality

- Collaborate with researchers to develop and refine benchmarks spanning undergraduate through PhD-level mathematics
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly informs how leading AI models are trained
Candidate background
Who You Are
- Currently pursuing or holding a PhD in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field
- Exceptionally strong mathematical reasoning skills across advanced domains
- Able to communicate complex ideas with precision and clarity in writing
- Comfortable providing structured, critical feedback on problem-solving approaches
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently and asynchronously
- No prior AI or machine learning experience required
