Statistics & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer
Mindrift offers remote, project-based opportunities for statistics specialists to help test and enhance AI systems for leading tech companies. Contributors design challenging computational statistics problems, validate solutions using Python and standard mathematical libraries, and clearly document their work. Contracts are non-permanent and part-time (10–20 hours/week during active periods). Compensation is project-dependent, with this project offering up to $39/hour; specific rates vary by scope and expertise.
Qualified candidates have a degree in Statistics or related fields, proficiency in Python (or similar languages/platforms like MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy), and at least 2 years’ applied, research, or teaching experience. Strong written English skills (C1+) and relevant certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS, CAP) are advantageous. Experience in problem solving with real-world or research-based mathematical scenarios is essential.
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.
What this opportunity involves
While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:
- Design original computational statistics problems that simulate real mathematical research workflows;
- Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis;
- Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from mathematical practice;
- Verify solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries;
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.
What we look for
This opportunity is a good fit for statistics specialists with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
- Degree in Statistics or related fields;
- Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
- 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
- Strong written English (C1+);
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.
