• Validate calculations or simulations using Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Statsmodels, and Scikit-learn);
• Improve AI reasoning to align with industry-standard logic;
• Apply structured scoring criteria to multi-step problems

What We Look For

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

• Degree in Statistics or related fields, e.g. Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Applied Statistics, etc.
• 3+ years of professional mathematics experience
• Strong written English (C1/C2)
• Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
• Stable internet connection

Professional certifications (e.g., PStat, CAP, SAS Certifications) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.
