Job Description
Design Data Science Problems for AI Training
As a Data Science AI Trainer, you will design original computational problems that simulate real-world analytical workflows across various industries. These problems will require Python programming using libraries like pandas, numpy, scipy, sklearn, statsmodels, matplotlib, and seaborn. It is important that the problems created are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes.
- Create deterministic problems with reproducible answers.
- Base problems on real business challenges: customer analytics, risk assessment, fraud detection, forecasting, optimization, and operational efficiency.
- Design end-to-end problems spanning the complete data science pipeline.
Your Responsibilities as a Data Science AI Trainer
Your tasks include creating problems that require non-trivial reasoning chains in data processing, statistical analysis, feature engineering, predictive modeling, and insight extraction. The ability to incorporate big data processing scenarios requiring scalable computational approaches is essential for a successful Data Science AI Trainer.
- Verify solutions using Python with standard data science libraries and statistical methods.
- Document problem statements clearly with realistic business contexts and provide verified correct answers.
- Contribute to projects aligned with your skills, on your own schedule.
Requirements for the Data Science AI Trainer Role
To excel as a Data Science AI Trainer, you should hold a Master’s or PhD Degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field. A minimum of 5 years of hands-on data science experience with proven business impact is required. A portfolio of completed projects and publications showcasing real-world problem-solving is highly desirable. Learn more about data science here.
Proficiency in Python programming for data science, SQL, and database operations is crucial. Experience with GenAI technologies (LLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, vector databases), a good understanding of MLOps practices, and knowledge of modern frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain) are also important.

Senior Python Engineer - AI Coding Agent Evaluation (Freelance)
Mindrift
About MindriftMindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.What This Opportunity InvolvesWe're building a dataset to evaluate AI coding agents — how well a model handles real-world developer tasks.You'll create challenging tasks and evaluation criteria within realistic simulated environments:Build realistic developer environments — a virtual company with codebase, infrastructure, and context (tickets, docs, conversations) that forms a believable development historyDesign tasks from intermediate states of these environments — craft the prompt, define what "solved" means, and ensure the task is solvable by an AI agentWrite tests that verify agent solutions — accept all valid approaches and reject incorrect ones, neither too strict nor too lenientIterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback — review agent solutions, analyze failures, and refine until the evaluation is fair and robustWhat This Is NOTNot data labelingNot prompt engineeringNot writing code from scratch — the agent writes most of the code; you guide and evaluateWhat We Look For8+ years in software developmentCore stack: Python (FastAPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (React), Docker, Postgres, Kafka, RedisExperience writing tests (functional, integration)English proficiency — B2+Why This Is HardFrontier models are already good at coding. Creating a task that genuinely challenges the best models is non-trivial. You need to deeply understand where models fail and what scenarios reveal the difference between a good and a bad solution. Tasks have many valid solutions — writing tests that accept all correct solutions and reject incorrect ones is harder than it sounds.How It WorksApply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paidEffort EstimateTasks for this project are estimated to take 30 hours to complete, depending on complexity. This is an estimate and not a schedule requirement; you choose when and how to work. Tasks must be submitted by the deadline and meet the listed acceptance criteria to be accepted.CompensationUp to $200/hr equivalent, depending on level and pace. Tasks are estimated at ~30 hours each; you set your own schedule.
