About Prolific
Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.
Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.
The role
We're looking for Data Scientists and Data Analysts to join our Expert Network to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models using real technical expertise. If you have the necessary experience, we'll send you a quick 10- to 15-minute test to assess your skills and suitability for AI tasks. If successful, you'll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you'll get paid to train and evaluate powerful AI models.
Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $80 per hour. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.
What you'll bring
Education: a BS, MS, or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a closely related quantitative field. Professional Experience: real-world experience in data analysis, predictive modeling, or machine learning engineering. Technical Rigor: the ability to solve complex statistical problems and interpret high-level data visualizations independently. Analytical Mindset: strong attention to detail with the ability to identify subtle logical fallacies in statistical reasoning or data interpretations. LLM Fluency: significant experience using LLMs to assist with data workflows, with a clear understanding of where these models typically hallucinate or fail. Communication: the ability to explain complex mathematical concepts or data insights clearly and concisely. A PayPal account to receive payment from our clients
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing in the role
Evaluate LLM Responses: review AI-generated data insights and statistical analysis for accuracy, clarity, and completeness. Fact-Check Technical Claims: use authoritative references to validate mathematical proofs, statistical formulas, and data-driven conclusions. Validate Code & Outputs: execute data-related scripts (e.g., Python/R) to ensure they produce correct results and handle edge cases properly. Annotate Model Performance: identify strengths and weaknesses in how a model reasons through data problems or builds predictive models. Ensure Alignment: verify that model responses follow specific system guidelines and maintain a high standard of professional technical behavior.
Key Technologies
Programming: proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn) or R. Data Querying: advanced SQL for complex data extraction and manipulation. Visualization: experience with tools like Tableau, PowerBI, or Matplotlib/Seaborn. Modeling: deep understanding of Machine Learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and statistical modeling techniques.
