AI Trainer (Mathematics & Statistics)
micro1
Verified listingOverview
micro1 is improving advanced AI systems by working with mathematical and optimization experts. This contractor role involves creating technical tasks, reference solutions, and evaluation criteria for AI model training, then assessing model outputs for correctness and identifying failure modes.
What You’ll Do
- Create realistic computational mathematics and statistics tasks designed to challenge advanced AI models
- Develop task instructions, reproducible environments, reference solutions, and objective evaluation criteria
- Evaluate model-generated proofs, calculations, code, models, and optimizations for correctness
- Identify logical errors, invalid assumptions, numerical instability, incorrect statistical methods, and reproducibility failures
Requirements
- Prior paid experience training, evaluating, benchmarking, or improving AI systems on mathematical or technical tasks
- Strong practical proficiency with Python
- Deep expertise in at least one relevant mathematical specialization (applied mathematics, scientific computing, operations research, optimization, formal mathematics, theorem proving, probability, statistics, numerical methods, or mathematical modeling)
- Hands-on experience using computational methods for numerical analysis, optimization, statistics, theorem proving, modeling, or scientific computing
- Public proof of skill (peer-reviewed publications, public code, research profiles, open-source contributions, competition results, or reproducible technical projects)
Who Should Apply
Apply if you have both deep mathematical or optimization expertise and hands-on experience training or evaluating AI systems—this role suits researchers, data scientists, and engineers who combine theoretical rigor with practical engineering. It will frustrate people who lack either deep technical specialization or prior AI-training work, or who prefer steady employment over variable task-based compensation.
Salary Insight
The $60–$120/hour range is output-based, meaning compensation depends on task completion and quality acceptance rather than hours logged. The span reflects different expertise levels and task difficulty. Without a guaranteed time commitment beyond "15+ hours per week," project income is variable; confirm with the company how many tasks are typically available and what completion rates look like before committing financially.

Application Tip
Your application lives or dies on public proof—link directly to your strongest peer-reviewed work, GitHub repositories, arXiv preprints, or competition results upfront. The hiring team is screening for specialists who have already shipped mathematical or AI-training work, so lead with a specific project or publication that demonstrates deep expertise in your stated specialization, not a general CV. If you lack publications, a high-quality reproducible notebook or open-source contribution in your area is the next-best signal.
