Job Description

Lean engineer writing and reviewing Lean 4 proofs for a leading AI lab. Formalizing mathematics and improving machine-checked reasoning in frontier AI systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Write correct, idiomatic Lean 4 statements and proofs compiling against current mathlib
  • Formalize natural-language mathematics, including competition problems, textbook results, and research-level lemmas
  • Review AI-generated Lean statements and proofs, identify failures or incorrect conclusions, and provide specific written feedback
  • Help define guidelines and rubrics for proof quality, statement fidelity, and mathlib conventions
  • Collaborate with Lean engineers and AI lab researchers to maintain consistent standards and improve quality
  • Work on projects training and enhancing AI systems

Requirements:

  • Hands-on experience writing formal proofs in Lean 4
  • Comfort with mathlib and Lean 4 tactics, including finding and using appropriate lemmas
  • Strong background in proof-based mathematics, theoretical computer science, or logic through a degree or research record
  • Ability to turn written statements and proofs into correct formal statements and proofs that check
  • Availability for at least 20 hours per week during weekdays
  • Clear written communication and ability to explain proof strategy and formalization choices precisely
  • Nice to have: experience with Coq/Rocq, Isabelle, Agda, Haskell, Lean metaprogramming, or AI-for-math work
  • Must be able to work without H1-B or STEM OPT support

Benefits:

  • W-2 employment, payroll, benefits, and compliance through Cincinnatus LLC or appropriate international entity
  • Payments weekly via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered
  • Fully remote work on your own schedule
  • Opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers and help shape next-generation AI systems
