Edfinity is an NSF-supported assessment platform used at 400+ institutions. Legacy homework systems check only the final answer, which any student can now get from an AI tool in seconds. Edfinity assesses student understanding, not just the final answer: students type or photograph their solutions; Edfinity scores each step against an instructor's rubric, with partial credit and immediate feedback. Paper Grader (launching early 2027), extends this to scanned in-person exams. Developed initially for mathematics (spanning the entire undergraduate curriculum from developmental math to Dummit & Foote and Baby Rudin), Edfinity is increasingly being adopted in other STEM disciplines and in the humanities as well. 

The Role. This is a technology and product position, not a teaching or research position, for a recent PhD (or within a year or so of finishing) in Math, Statistics, or CS with a strong mathematical background. You'll help build the mathematical content the platform runs on; stress-test AI grading of student reasoning and proofs to find where mathematical nuance gets lost; and help decide what we build next. Research opportunities on undergraduate STEM assessment may arise through specific federal awards. 

What we are looking for. Enthusiasm for technology and building a product. Teaching experience in a STEM discipline (TA, recitation, or instructor): you won't teach here, but you need intuition for student learning needs.  Clear technical writing in LaTeX Working programming skills. Fluency with current AI tools for mathematics. Excellent communication skills and and a collaborative temperament: we're firm on this. 

Logistics. Fully remote within the continental US; part-time to start is welcome. Pay is broadly in line with postdoc scales, depending on skills. US work authorization required, without sponsorship. To apply We don't take informal enquiries. Please send a CV and a statement of interest to jobs@edfinity.com. We'd like to hear how you use AI in your own work and where you think it helps or misleads; a work product you're proud of would be welcome.
