Overview The newest models can spin up a full analysis in minutes — load the data, pick a method, produce charts and a confident conclusion. Someone has to check whether the statistics actually hold up, and that someone is you. 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.
What you’ll actually do Evaluate AI-built analyses on real datasets: the method choice, the assumptions, and whether the conclusion actually follows from the numbers. Red-team the statistics to expose leakage, p-hacking, confounded comparisons, and confident nonsense before real users trust them. Write the better analysis when the model falls short: sound methodology, honest uncertainty, clear takeaways.
Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Analytics Engineer.
What we look for Professional or academic experience doing real data analysis — industry, research, or serious independent work. Fluency with the standard toolkit; most tasks use Python, SQL, and notebooks. Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal. No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
Compensation Up to $150+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $100k–$200k a year; some make it their full-time income.

How do I apply for the Data Scientist role at DataAnnotation?

Is the Data Scientist role at DataAnnotation remote?
Yes - DataAnnotation lists this role as remote.
What does the Data Scientist role at DataAnnotation pay?
DataAnnotation indicates Up to $150/hr for this role, but hedges the figure rather than committing to it. Treat it as an indication: HumanSourcer flags hedged pay instead of presenting it as a firm rate, and the listing's own wording is quoted in the Pay section above.
What kind of work is Data Scientist?
Coding / software engineering. Generalist and expert AI training; coding, STEM, law, medicine, writing
Is DataAnnotation a legitimate AI-training platform?
Reported worker-facing operating brand - and that relationship is rated "High - reported, not disclosed on portal" here because it can be checked against nymag.com rather than taken on DataAnnotation's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
