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 world's most advanced AI systems think and reason?

We're looking for Data Science Experts to work with Alignerr — a team that partners with leading AI research labs to train and refine cutting-edge language models. You'll stress-test AI reasoning, author gold-standard solutions, and help eliminate the kinds of subtle errors — data leakage, overfitting, flawed statistical inference — that make AI unreliable in real-world applications.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for experienced data science professionals who want meaningful, intellectually engaging work on their own schedule.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design Advanced Challenges — Craft rigorous, domain-specific data science problems spanning hyperparameter optimization, Bayesian inference, cross-validation strategies, dimensionality reduction, and more
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Produce authoritative, step-by-step technical solutions — including Python/R scripts, SQL queries, and mathematical derivations — that serve as benchmark responses for model training
  • 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 in model outputs such as data leakage, class imbalance mishandling, or improper train/test splits, and provide structured feedback to improve model reasoning

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
