Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company's mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All engineers are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

About the Role

  • Interpret, analyze, and execute tasks based on given instructions.

Required Qualifications

  • Must have either (a) a Master's or PhD in Mathematics with a specialization in a subdomain of applied mathematics (there is a separate position for pure math) or (b) a medal in an International Math Olympiad (IMO) or similar level math competition.
  • Proficiency in reading and writing, both in informal and professional English.
  • Strong ability to navigate various information resources and databases.
  • Outstanding communication, interpersonal, analytical, and organizational capabilities.
  • Solid reading comprehension skills combined with capacity to exercise autonomous judgment even when presented with limited data / material.
  • A strong passion for and commitment to technological advancements and innovation.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Math PhD with a specialization in a subdomain of applied mathematics.
  • Peer-reviewed applied math publications in well-regarded journals.
  • Previous AI Tutoring experience and / or experience teaching college courses.
  • Location, Hourly, and Other Expectations

  • Team members are expected to work from 9 : 00am - 5 : 30pm PST for the first two weeks of training and 9 : 00am - 5 : 30pm in their own timezone thereafter.
  • For those who will be working from a personal device, please note your computer must be a Chromebook, Mac with MacOS 11.0 or later, or Windows 10 or later.
