Remote Applied Mathematician

Inspiring Innovation with Applied Mathematics

Are you energized by the challenge of turning abstract mathematics into tangible solutions? In this remote position, your mathematical expertise will have a direct impact on complex projects with real-world implications. You’ll solve puzzles that don’t have answers yet—designing algorithms and models that help organizations unlock new possibilities. If you’re passionate about building clarity from chaos and translating numbers into outcomes, you’ll thrive in our team.

Why Your Work Matters

Mathematics isn’t just theory here—it’s the foundation for innovation. Every equation you craft, every model you refine, becomes part of the solution for industries ranging from healthcare analytics to financial forecasting, engineering design, or advanced logistics. Your analytical vision will empower teams to view challenges from a new perspective, providing them with the resources they need to make thoughtful choices and take strategic action.

What You’ll Achieve

Transforming Challenges into Solutions

Imagine shaping predictive models that anticipate shifts in global markets or building optimization tools that minimize resource waste and maximize efficiency. You’ll break down complex data, apply advanced mathematical techniques, and create frameworks that others can trust. Your expertise will guide colleagues who rely on robust, data-driven recommendations to deliver results that matter. Whether it’s advising on algorithm selection or helping a product team implement a new computational method, your influence will be felt across every stage of the project lifecycle.

Building with Impactful Technologies

Your mathematical toolkit will include statistical analysis, stochastic modeling, differential equations, and simulation. You’ll use Python, MATLAB, R, or similar languages to implement and validate your models. Collaborative platforms like GitHub, Jupyter Notebooks, and cloud-based environments will keep you connected to the rest of the team, no matter where you work from. Your daily environment may shift from the quiet focus of deep research to energetic virtual brainstorms with engineers and data scientists.

Elevating Team Capabilities

Your clarity will bridge the gap between intricate math and practical application. You’ll coach team members on why a particular algorithm fits best, simplify technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders, and guide solution design during sprint planning. The clarity you bring to every conversation is just as important as the code you deliver. You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or a shared digital whiteboard.

Responsibilities with Purpose

• Design Advanced Mathematical Models: Develop and optimize models for use in real-world environments—improving everything from inventory management to fraud detection.
• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work alongside software engineers, product managers, and domain experts to transform theoretical insights into user-facing features.
• Translate Data into Action: Analyze large, complex datasets and convert findings into practical tools that inform organizational strategy.
• Validate & Communicate Results: Document your methods, communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, and iterate based on real-world feedback.
• Champion Mathematical Integrity: Ensure rigor and accuracy at every step—your attention to detail sets the bar for the rest of the team.
• Stay Curious and Connected: Engage in continuous learning and bring fresh approaches to ongoing mathematical challenges, always keeping an eye out for innovative breakthroughs.

Skills and Experience That Set You Apart

• Degree in Applied Mathematics or Related Field: Advanced studies (Master’s or Ph.D. a plus) in mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, or computer science.
• Technical Proficiency: Expertise with programming tools like Python, MATLAB, R, or Julia for model implementation, plus experience with version control and cloud-based collaboration.
• Creative Problem Solving: A demonstrated ability to break down complex, open-ended challenges and identify practical, scalable solutions.
• Strong Communicator: You’re confident in simplifying highly technical material for a variety of audiences, adapting your approach as needed.
• Collaborative Mindset: You partner seamlessly with people from all backgrounds, embracing both independent research and group ideation.
• Remote Readiness: Previous experience working remotely is a bonus, but above all, you bring focus and self-motivation to distributed teams.

What Success Looks Like Here

You’ll know you’re thriving when you can point to outcomes that make a difference—a new forecasting tool that helps teams make smarter decisions, a risk model that saves resources, or a simulation that uncovers paths no one had seen before. You’ll see your fingerprints on key decisions, influencing the future of products, platforms, or processes. Your recommendations will be respected because they’re always grounded in rigorous analysis and real-world feasibility.

How We Work

You’ll enjoy the flexibility to structure your day for deep work while still plugging into collaborative sessions with colleagues in different time zones. We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely and build solutions the right way. Our tech stack keeps us connected—expect to leverage Notion for documentation, Slack for team updates, and secure cloud resources for data and code. This is an environment where curiosity is rewarded and every question is valued.

Compensation and Benefits

This fully remote position comes with an annual compensation of $45,000, paid promptly and transparently. You'll gain opportunities to expand your expertise through continuous learning, mentorship from senior mathematicians, and a vibrant network of colleagues who believe in the transformative power of mathematics.

Grow With Us

As our team grows, so does your opportunity to lead, specialize, or innovate in directions that inspire you. Whether you’re passionate about machine learning, operations research, or scientific computing, you’ll have room to pursue your interests and stretch your skills. We celebrate curiosity, encourage experimentation, and value the unique background you bring to the table.
