Job Title: Data Scientist

Job Type: Contractor

Location: Remote
Role Overview

Partnering with a leading AI research organization to engage experienced data scientists for a project focused on evaluating how well AI systems perform real-world data science work. Rather than producing deliverables yourself, you will define what excellent work looks like: designing task-specific grading criteria and scoring completed work samples with rigorous, well-reasoned written justifications.
Key Responsibilities
Design precise, task-specific grading criteria for real-world data science deliverables (analyses, models, dashboards, experiment readouts, and written recommendations)
Score AI-generated and human work samples against those criteria, with detailed written justifications for every score
Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment so that scores are reproducible and defensible
Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and iterate quickly on your work
Ideal Qualifications
5+ years of skilled data science experience in industry
Background in business operations, product, or growth data science at top-tier technology companies




Deep fluency in experiment design and A/B testing, metric definition, SQL/Python analysis, and communicating findings to executive stakeholders
Exceptionally robust written communication
Detail-oriented, consistent, and comfortable having your judgment reviewed and calibrated against peers
Prior experience with AI training, evaluation, or human-data projects is a robust plus
Application Process
Submit your resume or relevant technical background to get started
Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a brief technical assessment or submit additional information

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Contract and Payment Terms
You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
