Data Science & Analytic Methodology SME

What you'll do

You work on a customer's project about advanced analytic pipelines and large language models. You map scaled-analysis and pipeline-integration scenarios onto an existing taxonomy, then write detailed analytic cases that look like real deployments: automated triage, enrichment and analysis at scale, including the failure modes those setups actually hit.

You grade model responses on source handling, reasoning, understanding of limits and practical usefulness, and you flag over-refusal that would stall a legitimate analytic workflow. You also document edge cases and methodology concerns and write recommendations. The work is remote and contractor-based; the ad does not state weekly hours.

What you need

The ad lists these as preferred:

• Experience integrating LLMs (the ad mentions government GPT variants) into data or analytic pipelines
• Ability to run analysis at scale, with an understanding of automation failure modes and evaluation metrics
• A record of teaching, mentoring or technical leadership in data science
• Clear technical documentation and strong written English
• Comfort with distributed, international project work with minimal clearance constraints

Nice to have

• Exposure to designing evaluation frameworks or benchmarks
• Familiarity with defense, intelligence or government analytic domains, which the ad says is highly valued

What it pays

micro1 states $60–100/hour. The ad does not say whether pay is hourly or per task, or how the band is applied.

Worth knowing

Good:

• No prior AI experience is required; data science expertise is the bar
• Remote, no country restriction stated, 3 openings and a "High demand" badge
• Evaluation-framework experience built here carries over to other AI projects

Less good:

• The preferred background leans toward government and defense analytics, which not every data scientist has
• Hours, task volume and project length are not stated
• Contractor engagement: no benefits, and you handle your own tax
