  • Evaluate AI-generated solutions to data science, statistical, and quantitative problems.
  • Assess the correctness and completeness of analytical methodologies and conclusions.
  • Identify flawed assumptions, computational errors, and weaknesses in quantitative reasoning.
  • Apply statistical and mathematical principles to evaluate technical problem-solving approaches.
  • Provide accurate assessments of AI performance across relevant data science tasks.
• Machine Learning & Statistical Analysis
  • Review AI-generated machine learning approaches, modelling decisions, and analytical outputs.
  • Evaluate the appropriate application of statistical methods and machine learning techniques.
  • Identify methodological weaknesses involving model selection, statistical inference, and interpretation.
  • Assess whether quantitative conclusions are supported by the underlying calculations and assumptions.
  • Apply practical knowledge of machine learning and statistics to improve evaluation quality.
• Experimentation & Analytical Reasoning
  • Evaluate experimental designs, analytical workflows, and statistical testing approaches.
  • Review assumptions, methodologies, and interpretation of experimental results.
  • Identify errors in quantitative comparisons, statistical reasoning, and analytical conclusions.
  • Assess the logical consistency of AI-generated experimental and modelling recommendations.
  • Develop clear explanations of appropriate experimental and analytical methodologies.
• Expert-Level Prompt & Dataset Development
  • Create technically rigorous prompts covering statistics, machine learning, and quantitative analysis.
  • Develop datasets and analytical tasks that challenge AI reasoning and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Produce accurate reference solutions with clearly explained methods and calculations.
  • Design evaluation scenarios involving realistic data science and computational problems.
  • Ensure task specifications and reference answers support consistent technical assessment.
• Technical Review, Documentation & AI Quality Assurance
  • Document statistical errors, methodological weaknesses, and inaccurate analytical conclusions.
  • Provide structured feedback explaining appropriate corrections and alternative approaches.
  • Review AI-generated technical explanations for clarity, accuracy, and completeness.
  • Communicate complex statistical and machine learning concepts through precise written evaluations.
  • Maintain high standards of analytical rigor, consistency, and technical documentation across assigned deliverables.

Qualifications

• Professional experience or demonstrated technical expertise in data science, machine learning, quantitative analysis, or a closely related field.
• Strong working knowledge of Python for data analysis and computational problem-solving.
• Experience using pandas or comparable data processing and analytical tools.
• Solid understanding of statistics, probability, and quantitative reasoning.
• Familiarity with machine learning algorithms, modelling techniques, and analytical workflows.
• Experience analysing datasets and interpreting quantitative results.
• Understanding of experimental design, statistical testing, and analytical validation.
• Ability to identify flawed statistical assumptions and methodological inconsistencies.
• Familiarity with data modelling and practical quantitative problem-solving.
• Strong programming skills relevant to implementing and reviewing analytical solutions.
• Ability to explain statistical and machine learning concepts clearly in writing.
• Experience evaluating analytical methodologies and the correctness of quantitative conclusions.
• Strong mathematical reasoning, logical thinking, and attention to detail.
• At least 1 year of professional experience at an established technology, finance, or research company is preferred.
• Recent relevant experience, including work completed within the past 3 years, is particularly valued.
• Experience working with complex analytical problems in professional or research environments.
• Candidates based in an English-speaking country are preferred.
• Excellent written communication skills, particularly when explaining technical and statistical concepts.
• Ability to work independently and provide accurate, structured technical feedback.
• Familiarity with AI model evaluation or technical benchmarking is advantageous.
• Prior experience with AI training projects is not required.
