About The Position

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for mathematics professionals experienced in Olympiad-style problem writing, advanced proof-based reasoning, mathematical solution review, competition-level problem setting, and structured evaluation. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on AI mathematical reasoning evaluation, Olympiad-style problem development, proof review, solution quality assessment, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will create challenging mathematics problems, evaluate AI-generated solutions, identify logical flaws or incomplete reasoning, and provide clear written feedback based on detailed evaluation criteria.

Requirements

Demonstrated expertise in Olympiad-style mathematics, advanced problem solving, or competition-level mathematical reasoning
Experience writing original mathematics problems, reviewing solutions, or participating in problem selection processes
Strong ability to identify subtle reasoning errors, gaps in proof structure, or incomplete mathematical arguments
Exceptional written communication skills with the ability to explain mathematical reasoning clearly and precisely
Strong attention to detail and commitment to high standards of mathematical rigor
Comfort applying structured rubrics, evaluation criteria, and project-specific guidelines consistently
Ability to work independently in a remote, project-based environment
Advanced academic background in mathematics or a closely related quantitative field is highly relevant
Academic or professional experience involving proof-based mathematics, mathematical research, contest preparation, teaching, tutoring, assessment design, or advanced problem solving is highly relevant

Nice To Haves

Experience writing or reviewing IMO-style, national Olympiad, or advanced competition mathematics problems
Familiarity with proof-based solution standards, rigorous mathematical exposition, and contest-style scoring expectations
Experience identifying elegant solution paths, hidden assumptions, logical shortcuts, or insufficiently justified reasoning
Comfort creating difficult problems that challenge advanced reasoning systems
Strong ability to maintain consistency across detail-oriented mathematical review tasks
Experience as a math competition problem writer, reviewer, selection committee participant, medalist, or advanced competition participant may be especially valuable
Backgrounds involving number theory, combinatorics, geometry, algebra, inequalities, functional equations, or other Olympiad-style areas may be valuable

Responsibilities

Write original, advanced mathematics problems inspired by Olympiad-level reasoning and proof-based competition formats
Develop challenging prompts that test mathematical creativity, rigor, problem-solving depth, and conceptual precision
Create clear, correct, and well-structured reference solutions for advanced mathematical problems
Maintain high standards for problem difficulty, originality, correctness, and mathematical elegance
Review AI-generated mathematical solutions for correctness, clarity, rigor, and completeness
Evaluate whether solutions use valid reasoning, appropriate proof structure, and precise mathematical language
Identify logical flaws, unsupported steps, incomplete arguments, insufficiently rigorous proofs, or incorrect conclusions
Compare solution approaches against expected standards for advanced competition-style mathematics
Provide clear, concise, and mathematically correct written feedback on solution quality
Explain evaluation decisions with consistency, precision, and strong mathematical judgment
Follow detailed task instructions and apply structured review criteria accurately
Participate in screening, onboarding, calibration, or problem-setting alignment activities when required
