Job Description

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

  • 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 corre...
