  • Stakeholder Communication : Present insights to data labeling experts and technical teams

Required Qualifications

  • Statistical Expertise : Strong foundation in statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and pattern recognition

  • Programming : Proficiency in Python (pandas, scipy, matplotlib/seaborn) or R for data analysis

  • Data Analysis : Experience with exploratory data analysis and creating actionable insights from complex datasets

  • AI/ML Familiarity : Understanding of LLM evaluation methods and quality metrics

  • Tools : Comfortable working with Excel, data visualization tools (Tableau/Looker), and SQL

Preferred Qualifications

  • 2-4 years of relevant experience
