Data Scientist (Masters)

Data Scientist (Masters) — AI Data Trainer

About The Role

What if your deep knowledge of machine learning, statistical inference, and data engineering could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems reason and problem-solve?

We're looking for data scientists with graduate-level expertise to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. You'll design complex technical challenges, author rigorous solutions, and audit AI-generated code — exposing model weaknesses and pushing the boundaries of what AI can reason through.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just a strong command of data science and a sharp eye for technical precision.

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

What You'll Do

Design Advanced Challenges: Develop complex, domain-spanning data science problems — covering hyperparameter optimization, Bayesian inference, cross-validation strategies, dimensionality reduction, and more Author Ground-Truth Solutions: Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions including Python/R scripts, SQL queries, and mathematical derivations that serve as definitive reference answers Audit AI-Generated Code: Evaluate AI outputs using libraries like Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, and TensorFlow for correctness, efficiency, and technical soundness Refine AI Reasoning: Identify logical failures in AI outputs — such as data leakage, overfitting, or improper handling of imbalanced datasets — and provide structured, actionable feedback to improve model reasoning Work Independently: Complete task-based assignments asynchronously on your own schedule

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.

Who You Are

Currently pursuing or holding a Master's or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field Strong foundational knowledge across core data science domains — supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, big data technologies (Spark/Hadoop), or NLP Able to communicate complex algorithmic and statistical concepts clearly and precisely in writing Highly detail-oriented when it comes to code syntax, mathematical notation, and the validity of statistical conclusions Self-motivated and reliable when working independently No prior AI training or annotation experience required
