Data Scientist (Masters)

Data Scientist (Masters) — AI Data Trainer

About The Role

What if your expertise in machine learning, statistical inference, and data engineering could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems reason and solve problems? We're looking for Data Scientists with advanced degrees to challenge, evaluate, and refine cutting-edge AI models—exposing their blind spots, authoring gold-standard solutions, and making them genuinely smarter.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI industry experience required—just deep domain knowledge and a passion for rigorous, high-quality technical work.

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
    • Mathematical derivations (serving as definitive reference answers)
  • Audit AI-Generated Code — Evaluate outputs from models (using libraries like Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow) for:
    • Technical accuracy
    • Efficiency
    • Correctness
  • Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical failures in AI outputs, such as:
    • Data leakage
    • Overfitting
    • Improper handling of imbalanced datasets Then provide structured feedback to improve model reasoning.
  • Document Failure Modes — Systematically capture how and why models break down across:
    • Neural network architectures
    • Statistical modeling
    • Data engineering pipelines

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.
