Design difficult, realistic data science problems for AI training and evaluation. This part-time contract pays $50 per hour and requires advanced Python, SQL, statistics, machine learning, and technical writing skills.
The Work
You will design complex data science problems that reflect full, real-world workflows across fields such as telecom, finance, government, e-commerce, and healthcare. Your work will help evaluate and train advanced AI systems on practical data science tasks.
Each problem must require substantial reasoning and computation, rather than being solvable manually in a reasonable amount of time. You will build and check solutions, consider how they could scale to large datasets, and document the business context, problem, and verified answer.
- Create deterministic problems covering data processing, statistical analysis, feature engineering, predictive modeling, and insight extraction.
- Implement and verify solutions in Python using standard data science libraries.
- Include big-data and scalability considerations where relevant.
- Write clear business contexts, problem statements, technical explanations, and correct answers.
- Design end-to-end tasks that represent realistic data science work across multiple industries.
