Senior Mathematics Consultant

About the Role

We are looking to expand our team of expert consultants with Senior Mathematics Experts for part-time, fully-remote work supporting frontier AI research. Projects start at $80-120 USD / hour with top-performing experts on our platform earning $150+ USD / hour.

This role includes

• Designing expert-level mathematics problems today's leading models can't solve
• Evaluating and pressure-testing leading AI models

This is not tutoring, teaching, or generic annotation work.

About Aligned
