Freelance Machine Learning Engineer

Mindrift • Part-time • Remote (Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom) • 2d ago

Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

Design original computational STEM problems that simulate real scientific workflows
Create problems that require Python programming to solve
Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks)
Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains and creative problem-solving approaches
Verify solutions using Python with standard libraries (Numpy, Pandas, Scipy, scikit-learn)
Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers

What we look for
This opportunity is a good fit for ML specialists with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

5+ years of hands-on machine learning experience with proven business impact
Portfolio of completed projects and publications showcasing real-world problem-solving
Expert Python programming for data science (pandas, numpy, scipy, scikit-learn, statsmodels)
Expert statistical analysis and machine learning - deep understanding of algorithms, methods, and their practical applications
Expert with SQL and database operations for data manipulation and analysis
Experience with GenAI technologies (LLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, vector databases)
Understanding of MLOps practices and model deployment workflows
Knowledge of modern frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain)
Strong written English (C1+).

How it works

Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid

Project time expectations

For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.

Compensation

On this project, contributors can earn up to $55 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution.

Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.
