Overview Frontier models still fail at rigorous multi-step mathematics: invalid derivations, unjustified leaps, and confidently wrong final answers. Automated checks can't grade a proof. You can. As a Mathematician you'll evaluate and correct mathematical reasoning across everything from competition problems to graduate-level material, and your judgment becomes the standard the models learn from.
What you’ll actually do Craft problems that expose weak mathematical reasoning, from olympiad-style puzzles to graduate-level proofs. Review AI solutions step by step: catch invalid derivations, flag unjustified leaps, and rate the quality of the reasoning. Write the gold-standard solution when the model falls short, with the rigor of a referee report.
Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Mathematician, Applied Mathematician.
What we look for Strong background in pure or applied mathematics through graduate study, competition math, or equivalent experience. Fluency writing precise, well-structured proofs (LaTeX comfort helps). Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal. No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
Compensation Up to $125+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $100k–$200k a year; some make it their full-time income.

DataAnnotation's access model is "Open / self-serve" (Open application). This listing was first seen here on October 24, 2026 and was still live at the last check.
Is the Mathematician role at DataAnnotation remote?
Yes - DataAnnotation lists this role as remote.
What does the Mathematician role at DataAnnotation pay?
DataAnnotation indicates Up to $125/hr for this role, but hedges the figure rather than committing to it. Treat it as an indication: HumanSourcer flags hedged pay instead of presenting it as a firm rate, and the listing's own wording is quoted in the Pay section above.
What kind of work is Mathematician?
Writing / editing. Generalist and expert AI training; coding, STEM, law, medicine, writing
Is DataAnnotation a legitimate AI-training platform?
Reported worker-facing operating brand - and that relationship is rated "High - reported, not disclosed on portal" here because it can be checked against nymag.com rather than taken on DataAnnotation's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
