Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Applied Scientists to contribute to a customer's data-driven project, focusing on advanced analytics and experimentation. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required; your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is part of an open Data Scientist project, with a strong emphasis on clear written and verbal communication.
Scope of Work
- Design and execute statistical analyses to uncover actionable insights from complex datasets.
- Develop and validate machine learning models for various business or research objectives.
- Apply data modeling techniques and manage large-scale data transformations using Python and Pandas.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to define experimentation frameworks and analyze outcomes.
- Document methodology, findings, and recommendations with a focus on clarity and precision.
- Review peer contributions and provide high-quality feedback to support knowledge sharing.
- Deliver reproducible code and well-organized analytical reports as part of the project deliverables.
- Evaluate AI model outputs on statistics, machine learning, experimentation, and quantitative problems.
- Create expert-level prompts, datasets, and reference solutions.
- Identify flawed methodology, statistical errors, and weak quantitative reasoning.
- Provide clear, structured feedback that improves model capability.
Preferred Qualifications
- At least one year at a top company (tech, finance, or research).
- Expertise in Python, including proficiency with libraries such as Pandas and scikit-learn (sklearn).
- Demonstrated experience in applied statistics, experimental design, and machine learning.
