Featured Role Apply direct with Data Freelance Hub

This role is a Data Scientist (Masters) - AI Data Trainer, offering a remote hourly contract for 10-40 hours/week at $40-$80/hour. Requires a Master's or PhD in a quantitative field, strong data science knowledge, and analytical writing skills.

Location: Remote

Compensation: $40-$80/hour

Commitment: 10-40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Develop Complex Problems: Design advanced data science challenges across domains such as hyperparameter optimization, Bayesian inference, cross validation strategies, and dimensionality reduction.
• Author Ground Truth Solutions: Create rigorous, step by step technical solutions including Python/R scripts, SQL queries, and mathematical derivations that serve as "golden responses".
• Technical Auditing: Evaluate AI generated code (using libraries like Scikit Learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow), data visualizations, and statistical summaries for technical accuracy and efficiency.
• Refine Reasoning: Identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning-such as data leakage, overfitting, or improper handling of imbalanced datasets-and provide structured feedback to improve the model's "thinking" process.

Requirements

• Advanced Degree: Masters (pursuing or completed) or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a quantitative field with a heavy emphasis on data analysis.
• Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in core areas such as supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, big data technologies (Spark/Hadoop), or NLP.
• Analytical Writing: Ability to communicate highly technical algorithmic concepts and statistical results clearly and concisely in written form.
• Attention to Detail: High level of precision when checking code syntax, mathematical notation, and the validity of statistical conclusions.
• No AI experience required.

Preferred

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems.
• Proficiency in production level data science workflows (e.g., MLOps, CI/CD for models).
