Paid Opportunity: Write Olympiad-Style Math Problems for a Frontier AI Lab (Up to $85/hr)

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research lab on a math-heavy project aimed at pushing the boundaries of reasoning in large language models.

They’re looking for people with strong Olympiad backgrounds: problem writers, coaches, selection committee members, medalists, and participants. The goal is to design and review challenging math competition problems.

What you’ll do:

• Write original IMO-style problems (algebra, combinatorics, number theory).
• Review AI-generated solutions for rigor and correctness.
• Spot logical flaws and incomplete reasoning.
• Provide precise, clear, and fully worked solutions.

Requirements:

• Experience in Olympiad problem setting or competition (IMO, RMM, APMO, IMC, EGMO, etc.).
• Ability to articulate complex reasoning clearly.
• Rigorous attention to detail and mathematical precision.

Details:

• Commitment: 20–40 hrs/week
• Duration: ~2 months (extendable)
• Compensation: $50–85/hr (depends on medal/role/competition)
• Contract: Independent contractor via Mercor (weekly Stripe payouts)
• Remote, flexible start dates (rolling approvals, usually within 1–2 days)

Why join?
This is a chance to apply Olympiad-level math to frontier AI research, collaborate with top labs, and earn strong compensation while working remotely.
