About the role
Overview:
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 InvolvesWhile each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:
Design rigorous statistics problems reflecting professional practice;
Evaluate AI solutions for correctness, assumptions, and constraints;
Validate calculations or simulations using Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Statsmodels, and Scikit-learn);
Improve AI reasoning to align with industry-standard logic;
Apply structured scoring criteria to multi-step problems
What We Look ForThis opportunity is a good fit for statisticians with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
Degree in Statistics or related fields, e.g. Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Applied Statistics, etc.
3+ years of professional mathematics experience
Strong written English (C1/C2)
Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
Stable internet connection
Professional certifications (e.g., PStat, CAP, SAS Certifications) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.
How It WorksApply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid
Project Time ExpectationsFor this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.
PaymentPaid contributions, with rates up to $73/hour*
Fixed project rate or individual rates, depending on the project
Some projects include incentive payments
Note:
Rates vary based on expertise, skills assessment, location, project needs, and other factors. Higher rates may be offered to highly specialized experts. Lower rates may apply during onboarding or non-core project phases. Payment details are shared per project
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
