About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, specifying your proficiency level in the language.
Mindrift is dedicated to bridging specialists with project-oriented AI opportunities across top-tier technology companies, concentrating on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This engagement is based on project work rather than permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
While each project presents distinct challenges, contributors can expect to:
- Craft innovative computational statistics problems that reflect genuine mathematical research workflows;
- Develop tasks that necessitate Python programming solutions utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy;
- Ensure the complexity of problems requires substantial computational resources, making manual solutions impractical within typical timeframes;
- Formulate problems that involve intricate reasoning across domains such as number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis;
- Base challenges on real-world research problems or applicable mathematical scenarios;
- Validate solutions through Python, employing standard mathematical libraries;
- Clearly articulate problem statements and deliver validated correct answers.
Qualifications We Seek
This role is ideal for statistics professionals experienced in Python, who are open to non-permanent, part-time projects. Candidates should ideally possess:
- A degree in Statistics or related disciplines;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with equivalent experience in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages being acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience, whether in applied roles, research, or teaching;
- Strong command of written English (C1 or higher);
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience with international or applied projects will be considered advantageous.
How the Process Works
1. Apply → 2. Pass qualifications → 3. Join a project → 4. Complete tasks → 5. Receive payment
Project Time Commitment
During active phases, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, depending on project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $38 per hour, based on their contribution level and speed. Compensation may vary across projects according to their scope, complexity, and expertise required. Note that other projects may offer different compensation rates based on their specific requirements.
