Description
Remote Computational Mathematician
Redefining Problem Solving from Anywhere
What happens when deep mathematical theory meets practical computation, at scale? Thatโs where you come in. As a remote computational mathematician, your work isnโt just numbers on a page. Itโs code that models complex realities, algorithms that power new discoveries, and research that shapes the next wave of scientific progress. If you see mathematics as both art and engineering, and you thrive when pushing boundaries, this is your invitation.
What Youโll Create and Influence
Your unique perspective will spark the creation of next-generation computational strategies and computational frameworks that underpin products and research used by thousands worldwide. You'll translate intricate mathematical concepts into actionable models and robust simulations. By collaborating with researchers, software engineers, and domain experts, youโll transform big questions into practical, scalable solutions that stand up to real-world complexity.
Picture this: Your simulations accelerate a drug discovery pipeline, your optimization algorithm saves millions in logistics costs, or your statistical model identifies unseen patterns in global data. This is work that truly mattersโyour insights will have a lasting impact, resonating across industries, from finance and engineering to healthcare and AI.
Key Outcomes & Impact
- Architect Advanced Algorithms: You'll design, analyze, and optimize mathematical models and algorithms that drive innovation, accuracy, and efficiency across our projects.
- Innovate with Data-Driven Modeling: Develop and implement computational methods for high-impact problems, supporting data analysis, machine learning, and scientific computing.
- Mentor and Elevate: Guide junior mathematicians and analysts, sharing your knowledge while learning from a diverse, global team. Youโll be a sounding board and thought partner, not just a reviewer.
- Fuel Cross-Disciplinary Breakthroughs: Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists, and research partners to co-create solutions that bridge theory and application. Every project is an opportunity to learn and elevate the team.
The Tools Youโll Master
Youโll wield Python, MATLAB, R, or Julia for complex modeling and algorithmic development. Whether youโre deploying Monte Carlo simulations or tackling high-dimensional optimization, youโll be supported by cloud computing resources, advanced version control workflows, and a global network of experts who challenge you to think bigger.
Weโre serious about remote collaborationโSlack, Zoom, GitHub, and cloud IDEs keep your workflow seamless. Deep focus time is respected, but knowledge sharing is an integral part of everyday life. Imagine problem-solving with international minds at your side, all without the need for commuting.
Your Ideal Background
Success here is about more than degreesโitโs about creative problem-solving, intellectual humility, and technical mastery. Maybe youโve published research, perhaps youโve shipped production code, or possibly youโve transformed theory into business value more times than you can count. Hereโs what helps you thrive:
- Advanced degree (Ph.D. or equivalent experience) in Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, Statistics, Physics, or related field.
- Demonstrated expertise in building mathematical models, numerical methods, or large-scale simulations that have driven real outcomes.
- Comfortable with at least one primary programming language (Python, MATLAB, R, Julia, or C++) and eager to learn new frameworks as needed.
- Adept at explaining complex mathematical concepts to non-specialistsโover Zoom, Slack, or a whiteboard session.
- A portfolio of contributionsโopen-source, academic, or industryโthat shows you donโt just solve equations, you solve problems people care about.
Why Work Here?
Here, mathematical thinking isnโt a back-office skillโitโs at the core of our vision. Your contributions will be visible, valued, and instrumental in shaping the direction of every project. This is an environment built for individuals who love challenging questions, value autonomy, and thrive on making a meaningful impact. Flexibility and focus are built into our culture: youโll choose your ideal setup, whether itโs a home office, a cabin in the woods, or an apartment in the city. We care about outcomes, not hours.
Annual compensation: $105,852 (USD), fully remote. Every member of the team is supported with ongoing learning opportunities, wellness stipends, and access to the best remote collaboration tools.
How Youโll Grow
The problems youโll tackle are ever-evolving. Whether itโs adapting classical statistical methods for real-time data or pioneering new approaches in computational optimization, youโll expand your skill set on the job. Your growth mattersโexpect regular check-ins focused on your aspirations, and freedom to explore areas that ignite your curiosity.
Youโll gain exposure to projects in AI, quantitative finance, bioinformatics, climate modeling, and more. Our culture encourages bold thinking, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If youโre passionate about sharing knowledge, youโll find a ready audience through internal seminars, code reviews, and collaborative publications.
What Makes This Remote Role Different?
- Outcomes-First Approach: We measure your impact by the breakthroughs you help achieve, not by the hours you log.
- Purpose-Driven Projects: From algorithmic trading to environmental science, your work shapes decisions that matterโnow and for the future.
- Global Team, Human Connection: Despite the distance, our team bonds through shared curiosity and mutual support. Virtual coffee chats, brainstorming sessions, and asynchronous deep dives are all part of our rhythm.
- Room to Think Deeply: Youโll have the space and support to immerse yourself in challenging problems, because we know thatโs how the best solutions emerge.
