🌍 Subject Matter Expert – Data & Statistical Chart Analysis, Remote - Contract

Role Title: Subject Matter Expert – Data & Statistical Chart Analysis Role Type: Contract Location: Remote Required Skills: • Chart interpretation accuracy • Multi-step quantitative reasoning • Question design / unambiguous task construction • Domain-specific terminology precision • Remote collaboration In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work: • Interpret complex data science and statistical visualizations—such as Sankey diagrams, heatmaps, calibration curves, residual plots, correlation matrices, and distribution plots—applying advanced professional judgement and terminology. • Design clear, objective, multi-step analytical tasks and questions based on challenging visualizations, emphasizing quantitative reasoning beyond surface-level chart reading. • Deliver precise, unambiguous answers with thorough, step-by-step written explanations, including explicit calculations, statistical inferences, or modeling logic as required. • Utilize exact data science and statistical language, ensuring accuracy in referencing units, scales, axes, legends, and annotations in all outputs. • Create tasks that require graphical reasoning, trend analysis, comparison, interpolation, and statistical inference, always avoiding ambiguous or subjective prompts. • Participate in remote collaboration, contributing via written and verbal channels, incorporating feedback, and maintaining consistent communication with project stakeholders. • Consistently produce objectively verifiable tasks and solutions to support the rigorous training and evaluation of advanced AI models. Preferred Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience in Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or a related quantitative field. • Minimum of two years’ professional, academic, or research background engaging with statistical models, data visualizations, or analytical reporting. • Advanced proficiency in interpreting axes, legends, units, scales, confidence intervals, and statistical annotations across diverse chart types. • Demonstrated ability to clearly articulate analytical processes and quantitative reasoning in high-quality written and verbal English. • Bilingual proficiency in English and, ideally, a second language relevant to your domain. • Experience with technical documentation, publication, assessment design, or structured analytical task development. • Background in producing data-annotation tasks, benchmark questions, technical reports, or related materials for data science, statistics, or AI-driven projects.
