Who they want

• Bachelor's, master's, or PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, or closely related field

• Advanced knowledge of calculus, proofs, and higher mathematics concepts
• Exceptional problem-solving ability and mathematical critical thinking skills
• Strong written and verbal communication in explaining complex mathematical ideas

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Authoring mathematically rigorous problems

   Problem quality directly determines whether AI training data helps models reason correctly. Interviewers check if candidates can specify all mathematical constraints and write reference solutions.

   For example: “Design a multivariable calculus optimization problem where a model must identify boundary vs interior critical points. What constraints and tolerances would make this genuinely test understanding versus pattern matching?”

2. 2.Evaluating proof correctness and gaps

   AI solutions often appear plausible but contain subtle logical gaps. Candidates must spot missing justifications, unjustified assumptions, or misapplied theorems.

   For example: “You evaluate an AI-generated proof of a limit theorem where one step uses L'Hopital's rule but doesn't verify the indeterminate form condition. How would you provide feedback to improve this?”

3. 3.Assessing pedagogical clarity

   Mathematical content must be correct and comprehensible. Interviewers evaluate whether candidates distinguish between technically valid but poorly explained versus genuinely clear reasoning.

   For example: “An AI proof correctly establishes a result using abstract set theory, but lacks intuition about why the approach works. How would you assess whether this content serves AI training well?”

4. 4.Designing comprehensive problem sets

   Training data quality requires problems that probe multiple angles of mathematical concepts. Candidates demonstrate systematic thinking about what scenarios reveal model limitations.

   For example: “You're creating problems to test whether an AI understands eigenvector decomposition versus merely recognizing matrix diagonalization syntax. Describe two different problem angles you'd include.”

5. 5.Applying research verification methods

   Research-level verification ensures content teaches sound mathematics, not shortcuts. This reveals whether candidates approach problems with genuine mathematical rigor.

   For example: “You've received 8 candidate AI solutions to a differential equations problem, each using different approaches. What systematic method would you use to verify all are correct?”

A task you may get

Write a calculus problem with multiple solution approaches, reference answer with complete justification, and evaluation criteria for assessing AI-generated solutions.

How to prepare

• Review recent advances in proof verification and think about what makes a mathematical argument convincing
• Prepare examples of mathematical content with hidden errors versus rigorous solutions
• Practice articulating why certain proof techniques apply to specific problem classes
• Study how AI models fail on mathematics and what problem features expose weaknesses
