Title: Principal/ Lead Mathematician Rate: £450-£550 Outside IR35 Contract duration: 3 months (Initially) Start date: January start date! Were partnering with a highly technical, early-stage organisation building a next-generation, AI-driven decision platform.
If you would like to know a bit more about this opportunity, or are considering applying, then please read the following job information.
Theyre looking for a Principal / Lead Mathematician to own the mathematical foundation that underpins the entire system.
This is a rare opportunity to sit at the heart of product design
- translating human problem-solving processes into rigorous mathematical, algorithmic and optimisation models that power summarisation, semantic search, and decision-support workflows.
Youll lead the design and validation of core algorithms, working closely with Data Scientists and Engineers to embed mathematically sound models into a modular, cloud-native platform.
What youll be doing Designing end-to-end mathematical models that translate real-world workflows into executable system logic Applying algebraic modelling, graph theory, optimisation and statistics to complex, unstructured data problems Prototyping and validating algorithms in Python and MATLAB Shaping the mathematical backbone of vector search, intent extraction and LLM-driven workflows Producing clear, auditable documentation in LaTeX and Jupyter Acting as the mathematical authority across the platform and mentoring others where needed What were looking for Strong background in applied mathematics, operations research or optimisation Proven experience with graph-based models, algorithm design and probabilistic methods Comfortable working alongside Data Science and Engineering teams Ability to translate abstract, human-led processes into formal mathematical representations Experience supporting AI / ML-driven systems (theoretical or applied) This role suits someone who enjoys owning complex problems from first principles, shaping both the theory and its real-world application in a cutting-edge technical environment. xjlbheb
