Data Science Expert – AI Content Specialist

About The Role

What if your data science knowledge could directly shape the intelligence of tomorrow’s most advanced AI systems? We’re looking for Data Science Experts to stress-test, evaluate, and improve cutting‑edge language models — exposing their blind spots, correcting their reasoning, and setting the standard for what great data science looks like.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for experienced data scientists, statisticians, and ML practitioners who want to do meaningful, intellectually stimulating work on their own schedule.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You’ll Do

  • Design Advanced Challenges — Develop complex, domain‑specific data science problems spanning hyperparameter optimization, Bayesian inference, cross‑validation strategies, dimensionality reduction, and more
  • Author Ground‑Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step‑by‑step technical solutions including Python/R scripts, SQL queries, and mathematical derivations that serve as the definitive “gold standard” responses
  • Audit AI‑Generated Code — Evaluate model outputs using libraries like Scikit‑Learn, PyTorch, and TensorFlow for correctness, efficiency, and best practices
  • Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical failures in AI outputs — data leakage, overfitting, improper handling of imbalanced datasets — and deliver structured feedback that improves how models think

Who You Are

  • Holds or is pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a quantitative field with heavy emphasis on data analysis
  • Strong foundational knowledge across core areas: supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, big data technologies (Spark/Hadoop), or NLP
  • Able to communicate complex algorithmic and statistical concepts clearly and concisely in writing
  • Highly precise when reviewing code syntax, mathematical notation, and statistical conclusions
  • Self‑motivated and reliable when working independently on task‑based assignments
  • No prior AI or annotation experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or evaluation systems
  • Proficiency in production‑level data science workflows such as MLOps or CI/CD for models
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering or working alongside AI systems

Why Join Us

  • Work directly with industry‑leading AI language models at the frontier of AI research
  • Fully remote and async — work when and where you perform best
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, technically challenging work
  • Contribute to AI development that has a real impact on how these systems reason about data science
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
