Data Scientist (Masters) — AI Data Trainer

About The Role

What if your expertise in machine learning, statistical inference, and data engineering could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems reason and problem-solve? We're looking for data scientists with graduate-level training to challenge, audit, and refine cutting-edge AI models — exposing their blind spots and building the ground-truth solutions that make them smarter.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI industry experience needed — just deep, rigorous command of data science and a sharp eye for technical accuracy.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design Complex Challenges — Develop advanced 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 definitive reference answers
  • Audit AI-Generated Code — Evaluate AI outputs using libraries like Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, and TensorFlow for correctness, efficiency, and technical soundness
  • Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical failures in AI reasoning — data leakage, overfitting, improper handling of imbalanced datasets — and deliver structured feedback that directly improves how these models think
  • Document Failure Modes — Systematically record how and where advanced language models break down on data science tasks, helping research teams harden model reliability

Who You Are

  • Pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a quantitative discipline with a strong data focus
  • Deeply fluent in core data science concepts: supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning, statistical inference, and big data technologies
  • Able to translate complex algorithmic concepts and statistical results into clear, precise written explanations
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented — you catch errors in code syntax, mathematical notation, and statistical conclusions that others miss
  • Comfortable working independently and asynchronously without hand-holding
  • No prior AI or data annotation experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI model assessment workflows
  • Proficiency in production data science environments — MLOps, CI/CD for models, model monitoring
  • Familiarity with NLP, computer vision, or large-scale distributed computing (Spark, Hadoop)
  • Background in technical writing, research, or academic publishing

Why Join Us

  • Work directly with industry-leading AI research teams and cutting-edge language models
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
  • Contribute to AI development that shapes the future of data science reasoning at scale
  • Potential for ongoing contract renewals as new projects launch
