Occupational Math Tutor

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an AI Tutor – Occupational Math Specialist, you'll help advance xAI's mission by enhancing our AI technologies through high-quality inputs, labels, and annotations using specialized software. You'll focus on math as it is used in real-world occupational settings (e.g., finance, accounting, insurance, operations, logistics, skilled trades, healthcare analytics).

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Use proprietary tools to label and evaluate data.
• Support and ensure the delivery of high-quality curated data.
• Work with engineers to refine tasks, tools, and workflows.
• Design, select, and refine tasks grounded in real-world occupational math, for example:
• Insurance and risk: premiums, deductibles, expected loss calculations, simple risk modeling.
• Logistics and operations: inventory and reorder policies, capacity/throughput, basic cost optimization.
• Skilled trades: surveying and land measurement, electrical load calculations, machining tolerances, material estimation, blueprint and scale calculations.
• Finance and banking: loan amortization schedules, time value of money, portfolio and risk metrics.
• Accounting and tax: financial statements, reconciliations, depreciation, multi-bracket tax calculations, payroll.
• Health and social data: rates, ratios, simple biostatistics, survey-based metrics and policy-relevant indicators.
• Provide detailed, step-by-step solutions and evaluate model responses for correctness, adherence to domain rules (e.g., tax codes, building codes, basic regulatory or business constraints), clarity, and plausibility.
• Interpret, analyze, and execute tasks based on given instructions.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• A Master's or PhD in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research, Economics, Finance, Actuarial Science, or a closely related discipline with strong training in applied/occupational math; or
• A Bachelor's degree in one of the fields above plus substantial professional experience (e.g., 2+ years) in a math-heavy occupational domain such as finance, banking, insurance, accounting, logistics/supply chain, healthcare analytics, or policy analysis.
• Professional licensure or certification in a skilled trade (e.g., licensed surveyor, master electrician, journeyman machinist) with demonstrated expertise in trade-specific mathematical calculations.
• Strong proficiency in applied mathematics relevant to at least one of the above domains (e.g., probability and statistics, financial math, optimization under constraints, geometric and measurement calculations).
