Google : Mathematics and Finance Expert

is seeking experts in mathematical finance to author and peer-review a curated set of challenging, well-specified quantitative problems.

Day-to-day

• Write original, clearly specified problems (all assumptions and parameters defined; no ambiguity-by-design).
• Target known model failure modes via multi-step derivations, parameter-sensitive reasoning, and less-common methods (e.g., recent or niche literature).
• Ensure each problem has a checkable, numerically evaluable final answer (preferably with >2 significant digits to reduce guessing).
• For each problem, provide a structured Help section that unlocks the solution path without revealing the final answer.
• Help may include: required definitions, key lemmas, intermediate sub-questions, or a constrained hint ladder that makes the task solvable with targeted assistance.
• Deliver a full step-by-step solution that is logically complete, auditable, and reproducible.
• Include sanity checks or limiting-case checks where relevant (e.g., parameter limits, dimensional analysis, monotonicity).

You bring

• Graduate-level (or equivalent) mastery of mathematical finance.
• Strong background in stochastic calculus (SDEs, martingales, Ito/Stratonovich, Girsanov/change of measure).
• Derivative pricing across methods: PDE/BSDE approaches, Monte Carlo and variance reduction, calibration and implied volatility.
• Experience with interest

Bonus

• Familiarity with recent research directions (e.g., rough volatility, XVA, optimal execution/microstructure, advanced risk measures, robust finance).
• Prior experience writing qualifying-exam-level or contest-quality problems with complete solutions and rubrics.
• Comfort designing numerically stable answer keys (explicit tolerances, clear units/scales, and reproducibility).
• Difficulty must come from conceptual depth and rigor—not from missing data, trick phrasing, or hidden assumptions.
• Problems must be self-contained: any specialized definition is included or introduced through the Help component.
