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 professional 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 strong 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 strong plus

Application Process

• 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.
