Role Overview:

A well funded AI research and development company is seeking candidates with strong mathematical skills and problem-solving abilities. The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of high school-level mathematics, the ability to solve complex problems, explain solutions clearly, and work efficiently under time constraints.

What does day-to-day look like:

You would spend time solving a variety of high school math problems, creating explanations. Here are a couple of examples of the types of problems you might encounter:

• Solve a system of linear equations using matrices and explain the process step-by-step.
• Find the area of a region bounded by a parabola and a line, using integration techniques.

Note: Strong foundation in high school mathematics is required, but no other specialized domain experience is needed.

Requirements:

• Mathematical Proficiency: Strong skills in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus at the high school level.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to approach complex problems systematically and creatively.
• Explanation Skills: Capacity to break down solutions into clear, understandable steps.
• Time Management: Ability to solve problems efficiently and meet deadlines.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for explaining mathematical concepts.
• Adaptability: Flexibility to work with various types of math problems and student needs.
• Commitment: Ability to work full-time, 40 hours per week.
• Technical Setup: Desktop/Laptop with reliable internet connection and necessary software for mathematical computations and online collaboration.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, or a related field. We are open to candidates who have demonstrated exceptional math skills without a formal degree.
• Experience in tutoring or teaching mathematics at the high school level.
• Familiarity with standardized test formats and requirements for 12th standard exams.
• Knowledge of mathematical software and tools is a plus (e.g., Latex, Google Collab).

Benefits:

• Competitive salary based on experience and expertise.
• Opportunities for professional development and advancement.
• Collaborative work environment with other math enthusiasts.
• Flexible working hours and remote work environment.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
• Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.

Application Process:

• Shortlisted candidates will be sent an online math assessment.
• Candidates who pass the assessment will be invited for an interview.
• Successful interviewees may be asked to conduct a short mock teaching session.

From start to finish, the process typically takes about two weeks.
