STEM Computational Problem Creation Expert (Remote, Contract)

Independant contract | Flexible | Remote

hackajob is partnering with a leading AI platform to support the development of advanced AI evaluation and training datasets.

We’re onboarding senior STEM experts to design fully deterministic, computationally intensive STEM problems used to train and evaluate next-generation AI systems.

What You’ll Do

You’ll design and verify original computational STEM problems that simulate real scientific and engineering workflows.

Your responsibilities include:

Creating deterministic computational problems that require Python to solve
Ensuring each problem has one correct, reproducible output
Implementing and validating Python reference solutions
Clearly documenting:
Inputs
Methods
Constraints
Expected outputs
Verifying numerical and algorithmic correctness

This role is ideal for professionals who enjoy numerical methods, simulations, optimization, and exact problem-solving.

Example Problem Types

Numerical integration with fixed boundary conditions
Deterministic Monte Carlo simulations (fixed seeds)
Combinatorial or graph enumeration
Optimization problems with a unique global optimum
Physics or engineering simulations with fully specified parameters

This role is about precision, determinism, and verification.

Ideal Background

MSc or PhD in:

Physics
Applied Mathematics
Engineering
Scientific Computing

5+ years of computational or numerical problem-solving experience

Strong Python skills (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas; sklearn where relevant)

Experience validating numerical or algorithmic results

Strong bonus if you have:

Research or post-doctoral experience
HPC or simulation-heavy work
Experience designing benchmarks, problem sets, or verification frameworks
