Portugal · Part-time · Mid-Senior
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What This Opportunity Involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

  • Design original computational STEM problems that simulate real scientific workflows
  • Create problems that require Python programming to solve
  • Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks)
  • Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains and creative problem-solving approaches
  • Verify solutions using Python with standard libraries (Numpy, Pandas, Scipy, scikit-learn)
  • Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers

What We Look For

This opportunity is a good fit for ML specialists with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

  • 5+ years of hands-on machine learning experience with proven business impact
  • Portfolio of completed projects and publications showcasing real-world problem-solving
  • Expert Python programming for data science (pandas, numpy, scipy, scikit-learn, statsmodels)
  • Expert statistical analysis and machine learning - deep understanding of algorithms, methods, and their practical applications
  • Expert with SQL and database operations for data manipulation and analysis
  • Experience with GenAI technologies (LLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, vector databases)
  • Understanding of MLOps practices and model deployment workflows
  • Knowledge of modern frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain)
  • Strong written English (C1+)

How It Works

Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid

Project time expectations
