## About the Role

This opportunity is a good fit for Data Science specialists with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

 * 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+).

## Description

Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

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

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

 * 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 * cleaning * EDA * modeling * validation * 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
