Machine Learning Scientist - AI Trainer

DataAnnotation; Town of Ithaca (NY); Remoto; USD 138.000 - 207.000; Tempo pieno

Vantaggi offerti da questo lavoro

Remote work

Descrizione del lavoro

DataAnnotation is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to stress-test models’ reasoning about ML systems, spanning training dynamics, evaluation design, data pipelines, and deployment trade-offs. You’ll craft prompts, review outputs for subtle errors, and supply correct, practitioner-grounded solutions.

Applicants should have hands-on ML experience with Python and PyTorch or JAX, plus a strong command of written English. No degree is required, and remote, project-based work is common.

Competenze

• Hands-on experience training, evaluating, or deploying ML models in real projects.
• Strong Python, PyTorch or JAX proficiency for modeling and experimentation.
• Clear written English to articulate model reasoning and results clearly.

Mansioni

• Write prompts that probe how models reason about training, evaluation, debugging, and productionizing ML systems.
• Review AI output for subtle errors such as leaky evaluations, wrong loss formulations, and misdiagnosed training failures.
• Write the correct solution when the model falls short, grounded in real practitioner experience.

Descrizione del lavoro

Models are surprisingly bad at reasoning about themselves: training dynamics, evaluation design, data pipelines, and deployment trade-offs. Plausible-sounding ML advice is often subtly wrong.

As a Machine Learning Engineer you'll stress-test how models reason about ML systems and write the answers a strong practitioner would give, shaping how the next generation handles your field.

What you’ll actually do

• Write prompts that probe how models reason about training, evaluation, debugging, and productionizing ML systems.
• Review AI output for subtle errors: leaky evaluations, wrong loss formulations, and misdiagnosed training failures.
• Write the correct solution when the model falls short, grounded in real practitioner experience.

What we look for

• Hands-on experience training, evaluating, or deploying models professionally or in serious personal work.
• Comfort with the modern ML stack; most tasks assume Python and PyTorch or JAX.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.

Compensation

Up to $150+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $100k–$200k a year; some make it their full-time income.
