About the Role
As a Data Science Engineer (Python & SQL) - Freelance AI Trainer at Mindrift, you will have the opportunity to work on various projects that involve designing original computational data science problems, creating problems requiring Python programming to solve, and ensuring problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes.
What You Will Do
Design original computational data science problems that simulate real-world analytical workflows across industries (telecom, finance, government, e-commerce, healthcare)
Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, Sklearn, Statsmodels, Matplotlib, Seaborn)
Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks)
Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in data processing, statistical analysis, feature engineering, predictive modeling, and insight extraction
Create deterministic problems with reproducible answers: avoid stochastic elements or require fixed random seeds for exact reproducibility
Base problems on real business challenges: customer analytics, risk assessment, fraud detection, forecasting, optimization, and operational efficiency
Design end-to-end problems spanning the complete data science pipeline (data ingestion → cleaning → EDA → modeling → validation → deployment considerations)
Incorporate big data processing scenarios requiring scalable computational approaches
What We Are Looking For
Data Science specialists with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects
5+ years of hands-on data science experience with proven business impact
Portfolio of completed projects and publications showcasing real-world problem-solving
