Role Overview
A leading AI research lab is looking for Lean Engineers, Formal Mathematicians, and Proof Engineers to help its AI models state and prove mathematics correctly. In this remote role, you will write and review Lean 4 proofs, turn informal mathematics into precise formal statements, and evaluate whether AI-generated proofs are mathematically sound and faithful to the original intent.
Key Responsibilities
- Write correct, idiomatic Lean 4 statements and proofs that compile against current mathlib across areas such as algebra, analysis, number theory, and combinatorics.
- Formalize natural-language mathematics (from competition problems to research-level lemmas) into precise Lean 4 code.
- Review AI-generated Lean statements and proofs, identify logical failures, and provide clear, specific written feedback.
- Collaborate with AI researchers to define guidelines and rubrics for proof quality and mathlib conventions.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Core Qualifications
- Technical Experience: Hands-on experience writing formal proofs in Lean 4 (e.g., mathlib contributions, a formalization project, or autoformalization work).
- Ecosystem Knowledge: Strong comfort with mathlib, Lean 4 tactics, and finding/using the right lemmas.
- Academic Background: A robust background in proof-based mathematics, theoretical computer science, or logic.
- Communication: Fluent in written English, with the ability to clearly explain proof strategies and formalization choices.
- Availability: Ability to engage reliably for at least 20 hours/week during weekdays (with the option to increase up to 40 hours/week).
