About this opportunity

Role Title: Competitive Data Scientist Pay: $60–$120/hour Location: Global, fully remote Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week) Schedule: Flexible — you choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired. We're looking for data scientists, machine learning practitioners, and applied mathematics experts with competitive Data Science experience (Kaggle, DrivenData, etc.). You'll draw on your competition experience, mathematical reasoning, and programming skills to create tasks that require more than a plausible answer. Each task should have a reproducible environment, a verified reference solution, and reliable checks for successful completion.

Key responsibilities

  • What You'll Do:
  • Build reproducible environments, prepare relevant data and dependencies, and implement reference solutions.
  • Develop tests and evaluation criteria that reliably distinguish correct solutions from incomplete or flawed approaches.
  • Run coding agents against tasks, investigate their failures, and refine the tasks based on observed behavior.
  • Identify implementation errors, flawed assumptions, data leakage, and other issues that affect correctness.
  • Document task requirements, solution reasoning, and verification steps clearly.

Benefits & perks

  • Offer Details:
  • Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week).
  • Location: Global, fully remote.
  • Schedule: Flexible — you choose the hours and days you work.
  • Salary Range: $60 – $120/hour.
