Data Science Expert - AI Content Specialist

Data Science Expert – AI Content Specialist
About The Role
What if your deep knowledge of machine learning, statistics, and data engineering could directly shape how the next generation of AI reasons through complex problems? We're looking for Data Science Experts to challenge, audit, and improve cutting-edge AI models — working remotely on your own schedule alongside leading AI research labs.
This is a high-impact contractor role for data scientists who want to put their expertise to work in a meaningful, intellectually stimulating way.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design Advanced Challenges — Create 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 for correctness, efficiency, and best practices
Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical flaws such as data leakage, overfitting, or improper handling of imbalanced datasets, and provide structured feedback to strengthen how models think
Document Failure Modes — Systematically probe model weaknesses across areas like statistical inference, neural network architectures, and data engineering pipelines
