Remote Research Mathematician

Introduction: Impact Beyond Equations

Can a single insight transform an entire field? As a Remote Research Mathematician, your discoveries ripple far beyond theory, impacting critical technologies, advancing industry solutions, and shaping how future teams approach complex challenges. Here, curiosity isn’t just valued—it’s essential. If you thrive in remote collaboration, have an appetite for solving unsolved problems, and see mathematics as the root of all innovation, you’ll find your next adventure right here.

Why Your Work Matters

Innovative products, secure systems, and more intelligent algorithms all begin with original mathematical thought. In this role, you’ll translate abstract ideas into frameworks that empower engineers, inform data scientists, and drive decision-makers across multiple industries. Your proofs will do more than sit in journals—they’ll become the foundation for machine learning models, financial risk engines, and scientific breakthroughs used by thousands daily.

What You’ll Tackle

Every project offers a new frontier. One week, you might be deconstructing cryptographic protocols with colleagues on three continents; the next, you’re guiding a team through combinatorial optimization for a major AI deployment. Expect to move from conceptual ideation to tangible outcomes—always with the flexibility to dig deep, challenge assumptions, and bring your signature rigor to the table.

• Develop new theoretical models that inform real-world software, engineering, or analytics applications.
• Lead and document original research, sharing findings with teams that depend on your clarity.
• Mentor data professionals and engineers who turn your math into scalable tools.
• Partner across domains—statistical modeling, algorithmic complexity, computational theory—to deliver unified solutions.
• Present findings at virtual symposiums, shaping how the global research community thinks about emerging topics.

Your Daily Flow: Tools, Teams, and Autonomy

Your remote setup is your lab—whether you’re working from a home library, a co-working hub, or a quiet retreat. Our team is fully distributed, spanning time zones, but united by shared goals and real-time collaboration tools. Zoom, Slack, and digital whiteboards fuel spontaneous brainstorms and focused sprints. Every day, you’ll jump into discussions where your insight will unlock a breakthrough, unblock a colleague, or launch the next research direction.

You’ll partner closely with data science, product engineering, and systems architecture teams—integrating your theoretical advances with applied innovation. The pace is brisk, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely, pursue original thought, and own your process from hypothesis to impact.

Essential Qualities: What Sets You Apart

What makes a mathematician thrive here isn’t just mastery of the discipline—it’s a drive to turn thought into action. You see every proof as a door to new opportunities, and every obstacle as a puzzle worth solving. Communicating complex ideas comes naturally, whether it’s sketching out a new approach on a virtual whiteboard or breaking down a tricky concept in a team Slack thread.

• Doctoral-level expertise (or a comparable history of advanced research) in quantitative sciences, mathematical sciences, or an area where mathematics is fundamental.
• Demonstrated record of published or applied research with clear, real-world outcomes.
• You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom or async updates.
• Expertise in at least one core area: algebraic topology, numerical analysis, cryptography, combinatorics, or stochastic processes.
• Experience leveraging mathematical frameworks to guide product teams, design simulations, or optimize algorithms.

Technologies & Research Stack

While pure math forms the backbone of your work, your impact multiplies through the right digital tools and collaboration platforms:

• Symbolic computation software (Mathematica, Maple) and advanced programming (Python, R, Julia).
• Cloud-based environments for remote collaboration and reproducible research.
• Version control systems (such as Git), collaborative document platforms, and knowledge-sharing hubs.
• Familiarity with data visualization and statistical modeling tools to articulate findings for broad audiences.

Growth, Learning, and Recognition

Research here is anything but isolated. You’ll be invited to shape the research agenda, pursue curiosity-driven projects, and co-author major studies that challenge accepted wisdom. Present at global conferences, collaborate with renowned thinkers, and help steer cross-disciplinary initiatives where mathematical insight sets the direction for innovation.

Mentorship isn’t just encouraged—it’s celebrated. Whether you’re guiding an early-career data scientist through their first paper or learning from another mathematician’s approach, you’ll find a vibrant, supportive culture invested in everyone’s development. Career progression is merit-based, with real recognition for both individual breakthroughs and team contributions.

Compensation & Wellbeing

Exceptional talent deserves exceptional rewards. This is a fully remote role with an annual salary of **$124,987 **, reflecting both your expertise and the significance of your work. You’ll enjoy flexible scheduling, generous paid leave, dedicated research stipends, and resources for setting up a home office. Our benefits are designed to enable you to focus intensely on high-impact work, knowing that your well-being and growth are priorities.

What Makes This Different

Most research jobs talk about autonomy—here, you’ll actually experience it. Trust is foundational: you decide how to approach problems, when to collaborate, and how to stretch the boundaries of what’s possible. Feedback loops are fast and informal; ideas matter more than hierarchy. You’ll help set the tone for intellectual curiosity and bold thinking, raising the bar for mathematical innovation, wherever you log in.
