About The Role
What if your expertise in machine learning, statistical modeling, and data engineering could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems think and reason? We're looking for Data Science Experts to stress-test, audit, and improve cutting-edge AI models — working remotely on your own schedule alongside leading AI research labs.
This is a high-impact contract role for data scientists who love intellectual rigor and want their knowledge to leave a lasting mark on AI development.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design Advanced Challenges — Craft complex, domain-specific data science problems spanning hyperparameter optimization, Bayesian inference, cross-validation strategies, dimensionality reduction, and more
Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions including Python/R scripts, SQL queries, and mathematical derivations that serve as authoritative reference answers
Audit AI-Generated Code — Evaluate model outputs using libraries like Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, and TensorFlow, assessing correctness, efficiency, and best practices
Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical failures such as data leakage, overfitting, or improper handling of imbalanced datasets, and deliver structured feedback to improve model behavior
Work Independently — Manage your own workload asynchronously, contributing meaningfully without rigid schedules
Who You Are
Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field
Strong foundational knowledge across supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, big data technologies (Spark/Hadoop), or NLP
Able to communicate complex algorithmic and statistical concepts clearly and precisely in writing
Detail-oriented — you catch errors in code syntax, mathematical notation, and statistical reasoning
No prior AI or annotation experience required
Nice to Have
Experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or evaluation systems
Familiarity with production-level data science workflows such as MLOps or CI/CD pipelines for models
Background in academic or applied research with a track record of rigorous technical writing
Why Join Us
Work directly with industry-leading large language models and cutting-edge AI research
Fully remote and flexible — contribute on a schedule that works for you
Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
High-agency contractor environment with international reach
Potential for ongoing contract renewals as new projects launch
