About this job

This role involves translating mathematical proofs into machine-verifiable Lean 4 formalizations for an AI research organization. Mathematicians with formal proof system experience will work on bridging informal mathematical arguments and automated reasoning, identifying gaps in current verification tools and helping advance mechanized mathematics at the intersection of AI and rigorous proof.

What you'll do

  • Translate informal mathematical proofs into Lean 4 and related proof systems, emphasizing clarity and correctness.
  • Analyze proofs to identify gaps, hidden assumptions, and formalizable sub-structures across generic and domain-specific areas.
  • Collaborate with AI researchers to design and evaluate strategies for improving formal verification pipelines.
  • Investigate and articulate precisely why automated provers fail or struggle with specific proof problems.

Requirements

LLM
  • Master's degree in Mathematics, Logic, Theoretical Computer Science, or related field
