Work that impacts your future.

The largest language models in the world still fail at undergraduate-level mathematics. You're the feedback loop that fixes this — one proof at a time.

01-Rigor

A platform built for rigor

DataAnnotation is selective by design. We recruit mathematicians, researchers, and domain experts because the work demands it.

02-Signal

Direct impact on AI development

The problems you’ll evaluate are domain specific. You’ll review multi-step proofs, assess model-generated reasoning, and identify exactly where and why a mathematical argument breaks down. Your judgement shapes the future of AI within the mathematical field.

03-Flexibility

Work on your schedule

No fixed hours, no standups, no managers. Tasks are available 24/7 and you choose when and how much to work. Most contributors work 10–50+ hours per week around their primary commitments. You set the pace.

04-Rate

Premium compensation

Math expertise is scarce and we pay accordingly. Rates start at $40/hour and scale with complexity and performance. Contributors with strong quantitative backgrounds consistently rank among our top earners on the platform.

Three steps.
No overhead.

01

Apply & Qualify

Complete a math assessment. We evaluate your proof-writing, problem-solving, and ability to identify logical errors. No resume required.

~30 min assessment
02

Get Matched

Based on your assessment results, you're matched to projects in your areas of strength. Calculus, algebra, topology, number theory — you choose what fits.

Flexible scheduling

What you'll actually do.

Where models need you most.

These are the areas where current AI systems consistently struggle. Your expertise directly addresses the hardest open problems in mathematical reasoning.

Proof-Based Reasoning

Evaluate and construct formal proofs. Identify logical gaps, invalid inferences, and incomplete case analysis in model- generated arguments.

Real Analysis
Abstract Algebra
Topology

Multi-Step Problem Solving

Review complex solutions requiring sequential reasoning. Check that each step follows validly from the last and that no intermediate steps are skipped.

Calculus
Differential Equations
Combinatorics

Symbolic Logic & Formalization

Assess the model's ability to translate natural language into formal mathematical notation and reason within formal systems.

Mathematical Logic
Set Theory
Graph Theory

Edge Cases & Counterexamples

Identify where models fail on boundary conditions, degenerate cases, and subtle counterexamples that break general claims.

Analysis
Algebra
Number Theory

Quantitative Modeling

Evaluate applied mathematics problems involving optimization, statistical reasoning, and mathematical modeling of real-world systems.

A selective community of experts

Work alongside writers, lawyers, health professionals, coders, professors, and bilingual experts shaping the future of AI.

The problems here actually require engineering judgment. It's some of the most rigorous work I've done outside of a staff role.

Marcus

Software Engineer

The variety is what I didn't expect. One week I'm rewriting technical explanations, the next I'm evaluating how a model handles tone and voice.

Julia

Senior Copywriter

Clinical nuance matters in this work. It's rare to find contract work where my specialty actually gets used properly.

Melissa

Clinical Reviewer

The evaluation work here is more rigorous than most PM research I've run in-house. I've genuinely changed how I think about product quality.

Azhar

Senior Product Manager

Legal reasoning in AI is still an unsolved problem. Getting to shape how these models handle it, from a practitioner's perspective, is the work I actually want to be doing.

Krysta

Solicitor

The code review standards here are higher than most teams I've worked on. It's sharpened how I think about edge cases in my day job.

Tyler

Senior Engineer

Pressure-testing these tools surfaces failure modes that matter. The work holds up to the standards I'd apply in practice.

Abi

Litigation Attorney

Most freelance work in my field is content mills. This is the first engagement where my clinical training is the reason I was hired, not an afterthought.

Liana

Clinical Researcher

My writing background is exactly what this work needs. Evaluating how models handle narrative, voice, and subtext is surprisingly rigorous.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Here we answer the most common questions.

What kind of work will I do?

You'll work on tasks that help AI perform better, like reviewing responses, checking accuracy, refining prompts, and rating outputs. No coding or technical background needed.

What kind of projects are available?

Projects vary but commonly include reviewing AI-generated text, ranking responses, checking facts, labeling data, and reviewing content in specific subject areas. All focused on improving real production AI systems.

Who is this for?

This is ideal for people with strong reasoning skills, attention to detail, and subject-matter expertise who want flexible, remote work with real impact. Researchers, students, professionals, and independent contributors who enjoy analytical work and want to contribute to advancing AI systems.

What kind of position is this?

This is a flexible, task-based contractor role. You work remotely on your own schedule, focused on output quality rather than hours logged. There is no long-term commitment required, and you can work as much or as little as you choose.
