What the work looks like
Reasoning is the frontier AI labs are racing on, and math is how they measure it. Tasks usually fall into four kinds.
Write and check proofs
Solve hard problems step by step, and verify AI-written proofs line by line to find where the logic breaks.
Create hard problems
Write original problems, from olympiad to research level, that today's models can't solve yet.
Grade model reasoning
Rank AI solutions and pinpoint the exact step where an argument goes wrong.
Explain clearly
Write clear worked solutions that teach models how an expert thinks through a problem.

How it works
- Get matched
Answer four quick questions. We rank every open task by how likely you are to be hired.
- Apply on the platform
Apply where the task is posted. Most platforms run a short skills assessment or interview and an ID check.
- Work and get paid
Pick up tasks when it suits you. The platform pays you directly, on its own schedule.
Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- You have a degree, master's or PhD in maths or statistics, or a strong competition record
- You enjoy hard problems and checking every step
- You can write clear, rigorous solutions
- You want flexible, remote work alongside research, teaching or a job
Probably not if
- You're looking for a salaried academic or industry position
- You need guaranteed hours every week
- You're not comfortable with proofs or graduate-level material
Questions mathematicians ask
What do AI training jobs for math experts involve?
You write and check mathematics for AI models: solving problems step by step, verifying AI-written proofs, creating original hard problems and grading model reasoning.
How much do math experts earn training AI?
Most math tasks on humaven pay between $60–$82 an hour, and specialist roles go up to $150 an hour. Rates are set by each platform and shown on every task.
Do I need a PhD?
Not always. Many roles ask for a master's or PhD, or are open to strong students and competition medallists. Each task lists its requirements.
Can I do this alongside research or teaching?
Yes. Most tasks are flexible, with no minimum hours. Check your institution's rules on outside work.
Do I need to know programming?
Usually not. Some tasks use LaTeX for writing maths; a few statistics roles use Python or R. Each task says what it needs.
How do I apply?
Answer four quick questions on humaven to see the math tasks you're most likely to get, then apply on the platform that posts the task. Expect a short problem-solving assessment.
