About the role

Role overview

You will work as a Data Science Expert to evaluate how effectively AI completes real-world data science tasks. Instead of building models or producing business analyses yourself, you will define what “high-quality” work looks like and assess AI-generated (and human) outputs using evidence-based evaluation frameworks.

Key responsibilities

  • Design task-specific evaluation criteria for real-world deliverables, including:
    • Data analyses
    • Predictive and statistical models
    • Dashboards and visualizations
    • Experiment results
    • Executive recommendations and business insights
  • Evaluate AI-generated and human-produced work using objective scoring frameworks
  • Write detailed, consistent justifications for each evaluation, ensuring technical accuracy
  • Use analytical judgment to produce reproducible and defensible assessments
  • Incorporate structured reviewer feedback and continuously refine evaluation methodologies
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to improve AI training quality and evaluation standards

Required qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional data science experience in an industry environment
  • Strong background in business operations, product analytics, growth analytics, or similar functions at technology-driven organizations
  • Deep expertise in:
    • Experimental design and A/B testing
    • Statistical analysis
    • SQL and Python
    • Metric development and performance measurement
    • Translating analytical findings into business recommendations
  • Excellent written communication and the ability to clearly explain technical reasoning
  • High attention to detail and consistent evaluation against structured rubrics
  • Comfortable receiving feedback and calibrating evaluation standards with peer reviewers

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience with AI evaluation, model training, human feedback, or data annotation initiatives
  • Familiarity with LLMs, AI-assisted analytics, or machine learning workflows
  • Experience reviewing technical work or mentoring analytical teams

Contract details

  • Independent contractor engagement
  • Fully remote with flexible working hours
  • Weekly payments based on approved completed work
  • Project duration may extend or end based on needs and performance
  • H1-B and STEM OPT sponsorship not available
