About the Role

As a Research Scientist focused on the mathematical sciences, you will help build models, tools, and workflows that move theoretical research—in fields such as mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer science—forward. You’ll design domain-specific data and signals, shape training and evaluation, guide how to wire models to scientific tools, and work with the academic community to speed up adoption and impact.

We’re looking for people who…

Hold a current or recent academic position in mathematical sciences (mathematics, theoretical physics, theoretical computer science) or a related field

Regularly use frontier models in their own research

Move easily between theory and code, and are eager to contribute technically as well as academically

Either know or are eager to learn modern AI and run AI experiments end-to-end

Are strong scientific communicators

Care about rigor and reproducibility in scientific results

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will

Assist in designing and building frontier AI models that are great at solving frontier mathematical sciences problems

Build high-quality scientific datasets and synthetic data pipelines (symbolic, numeric, and simulator-based)

Design reinforcement and grading signals for mathematical sciences and run reinforcement learning / optimization loops to improve model reasoning

Define and run evals for scientific reasoning, derivations, simulations, and literature grounding; track progress over time

Partner with research labs and the academic community

Drive adoption of frontier AI within the scientific community

Uphold high standards for safety, data governance, and reproducibility

You might thrive in this role if you

Are passionate about pushing the boundaries of your field using AI

Have used ChatGPT to do calculations and prove or improve lemmas in your field of study

Communicate clearly to both scientists and AI engineers; you like collaborating across teams and with academia

Nice to have

Open-source contributions to mathematical science or AI tooling

Experience building or curating domain datasets and benchmarks

Experience engaging a research community (teaching, workshops, tutorials, standards)
