[Hiring] Freelance Data Scientist @Mindrift

3d ago - Mindrift is hiring a remote Freelance Data Scientist. πŸ’Έ Salary: up to $55 per hour πŸ“Location: UK

Role Description

Mindrift 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 involves:

  • Design original computational data science problems that simulate real-world analytical workflows across industries (telecom, finance, government, e-commerce, healthcare).
  • Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, Sklearn, Statsmodels, Matplotlib, Seaborn).
  • Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks).
  • Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in data processing, statistical analysis, feature engineering, predictive modeling, and insight extraction.
  • Create deterministic problems with reproducible answers: avoid stochastic elements or require fixed random seeds for exact reproducibility.
  • 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 (data ingestion β†’ cleaning β†’ EDA β†’ modeling β†’ validation β†’ deployment considerations).
  • Incorporate big data processing scenarios requiring scalable computational approaches.
  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on data science experience with proven business impact.
  • Portfolio of completed projects and publications showcasing real-world problem-solving.
  • Expert Python programming for data science (pandas, numpy, scipy, scikit-learn, statsmodels).
  • Expert statistical analysis and machine learning - deep understanding of algorithms, methods, and their practical applications.
  • Expert with SQL and database operations for data manipulation and analysis.
  • Experience with GenAI technologies (LLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, vector databases).
  • Understanding of MLOps practices and model deployment workflows.
  • Knowledge of modern frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain).
  • Strong written English (C1+).

Requirements

  • This opportunity is a good fit for Data Science specialists with experience in Python open to part-time, non-permanent projects.

Benefits

  • For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements.
  • Contributors can earn up to $55 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution.
  • Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise.
  • Please note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.
