We are seeking a detail-oriented Junior Data Scientist to contribute to the evaluation and improvement of advanced artificial intelligence systems. This opportunity is ideal for early-career data science professionals with strong analytical skills and a solid understanding of statistics, machine learning, experimentation, and quantitative reasoning.

In this role, you will evaluate AI-generated responses to data science and quantitative problems, develop expert-level prompts and datasets, and create reference solutions to assess the accuracy and reliability of AI models. You will identify statistical errors, flawed methodologies, and weaknesses in quantitative reasoning while providing structured feedback to improve model performance.

The ideal candidate combines practical data science knowledge with clear technical communication and a rigorous, evidence-based approach to problem-solving. Previous experience in AI development is not necessarily required.


Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • AI Model Evaluation: Evaluate AI-generated outputs on data science, statistics, machine learning, experimentation, and quantitative analysis tasks.
  • Problem and Prompt Development: Create challenging, well-defined prompts and technical problems that assess analytical reasoning and practical data science skills.
  • Dataset Preparation: Prepare and validate relevant datasets for testing AI models across statistical and machine learning use cases.
  • Reference Solution Development: Develop accurate reference answers, calculations, and analytical solutions to establish reliable evaluation benchmarks.
  • Statistical Validation: Identify statistical errors, incorrect assumptions, flawed methodologies, and inappropriate interpretations of data.
  • Quantitative Reasoning Assessment: Assess whether AI-generated solutions demonstrate sound mathematical reasoning, appropriate analytical methods, and evidence-based conclusions.
  • Structured Feedback: Provide clear, actionable feedback highlighting errors, missing steps, and opportunities to improve the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated outputs.
  • Quality Assurance: Validate analytical results, review solution consistency, and ensure that evaluation criteria are objective and reproducible.
  • Technical Documentation: Explain statistical concepts, analytical approaches, and evaluation findings in a clear and structured manner.

Required Qualifications

  • At least one year of professional experience at a well-established company in technology, finance, research, or a related field.
  • At least part of the relevant professional experience should have been gained within the past three years.
  • Foundational knowledge of data science, statistics, machine learning, and quantitative analysis.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate data-driven conclusions critically.
  • Understanding of statistical methods, experimental design, data interpretation, and model evaluation.
  • Ability to identify incorrect calculations, methodological weaknesses, and unsupported conclusions.
  • Strong written communication skills, particularly when explaining technical and statistical concepts.
  • Ability to work independently, follow evaluation guidelines, and deliver accurate, high-quality assessments.
