Subject Matter Expert - Advanced Mathematics

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, particularly at the JEE level, and 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 various advanced high school math problems, including those at the JEE level/Engineering Entrance Exam or Engineering College level, and creating detailed explanations. Here are a couple of examples of the types of problems you might encounter:

• Solve a complex 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, and explain the method in detail.
• Solve challenging problems involving algebraic identities, permutations and combinations, and calculus, typical of JEE Advanced level questions.

Note: A 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 or JEE 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.
• 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:

• Bachelors degree in Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, or related fields or candidates with exceptional math skills, even without a formal degree.
• Experience tutoring or teaching high school or JEE-level mathematics.
• Familiarity with JEE Main and Advanced exam formats.
• Knowledge of mathematical software and tools (e.g., LaTeX, Google Colab) is a plus.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation based on experience and expertise
• Flexible hours and remote work
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies
• Potential for contract extension based on performance

Application Process:

• Online Math Assessment
• Interview (if assessment passed)
• Optional Mock Teaching Session (for selected candidates)

Typical duration: 2 weeks
