Job Description

About the Team

Join the DataAnnotation team and contribute to developing cutting-edge AI systems. We are looking for experienced quantitative professionals to help advance AI development. AI models are increasingly capable of performing complex analytical and scientific reasoning — but these systems still need practitioners with real-world quantitative experience to validate whether the outputs actually hold up in practice.

As a member of DataAnnotation's team, you'll work closely with state-of-the-art AI models on tasks like evaluating AI-generated quantitative analysis, solving technical problems, and providing feedback that directly shapes how these systems reason about data, models, and scientific problems. Some team members fit this work alongside a full-time role, while others treat it as their primary focus.
