Data Scientist Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer Project

What You’ll Do

 

You’ll design and deliver machine learning solutions that blend cutting-edge research with practical deployment. Working across industries and use cases, you’ll tackle challenging problems in computer vision and build robust models that power client-facing tools and internal platforms.

• Develop End-to-End CV Models: Design, train, and evaluate deep learning models (e.g., YOLO, optical flow, ResNet architectures) tailored to complex visual data pipelines and novel problem domains.
• Collaborate on Real-World Solutions: Partner with software engineers and fellow data scientists to integrate research-driven models into deployable systems that operate in dynamic production environments.
• Client-Focused Problem Solving: Work closely with external stakeholders to frame ambiguous problems, explore solution paths, and translate technical insights into impactful results.
• Explore, Iterate, Validate: Lead the exploration and analysis of large datasets using tools like Pandas, NumPy, and Spark to inform model design and evaluate performance under realistic constraints.
• Research-Driven Innovation: Identify when state-of-the-art ideas can be adapted and productionized in service of the problem at hand.

What We Need

 

Professional Experience:

• 2+ years of hands-on experience building computer vision models using modern deep learning techniques.
• Proven ability to take models from prototype to production in Python-based workflows.
• Experience working in client-facing roles or directly engaging with stakeholders to refine project requirements.

Technical Expertise:

• Strong proficiency in Python and commonly used ML/data libraries (Pandas, NumPy, PyTorch, etc).
• Familiarity with core computer vision tools and model types (YOLO, ResNet, segmentation models, optical flow, etc).
• Experience working with large-scale datasets using distributed tools such as Spark.
• Comfort navigating cloud environments (GCP, AWS, or similar); Databricks experience is a plus.
• Solid grasp of experimental design, model evaluation, and data debugging practices.
• Strong code hygiene: able to write clean, modular, testable code in collaborative environments.

Bonus (Nice to Haves):

• Familiarity with MLOps practices (model tracking, versioning, reproducibility).
• Experience contributing to multi-model systems or pipelines built by larger teams of data scientists and engineers.
