Someone has to check whether the statistics actually hold up, and that someone is you.</p><p>As a Data Scientist you’ll evaluate AI-generated analyses on real datasets, stress-test the reasoning behind them, and write the judgments that teach the next generation of models what rigorous data work looks like.</p></section><section class="rd-section"><h2>What you’ll actually do</h2><ul><li><b>Evaluate AI-built analyses</b> on real datasets: the method choice, the assumptions, and whether the conclusion actually follows from the numbers.</li><li><b>Red-team the statistics</b> to expose leakage, p-hacking, confounded comparisons, and confident nonsense before real users trust them.</li><li><b>Write the better analysis</b> when the model falls short: sound methodology, honest uncertainty, clear takeaways.</li></ul></section><section class="rd-section"><h2>What we look for</h2><ul><li>Professional or academic experience doing real data analysis — industry, research, or serious independent work.</li><li>Fluency with the standard toolkit; most tasks use Python, SQL, and notebooks.</li><li>Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.</li><li>No degree required.
