Part Time Machine Learning Scientist Jobs in New York

Specialised Part-Time Consulting OpportunityWe are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced data science and analytics professionals with strong expertise in machine learning, statistical modelling, experimentation, data infrastructure, business intelligence, and enterprise analytics.This role supports advanced AI evaluation work focused on realistic large-scale data science and analytics workflows. Selected professionals will design complex technical scenarios, develop reference outputs, and create evaluation rubrics that reflect how experienced data scientists and analytics leaders approach modelling, experimentation, data strategy, and production-scale data systems.Key ResponsibilitiesMachine Learning & Predictive ModellingDevelop realistic scenarios involving predictive modelling and machine learning developmentCreate tasks covering feature engineering, model selection, training, validation, and performance evaluationAssess modelling approaches for statistical validity, scalability, and business relevanceIdentify weak assumptions, methodological issues, and potential sources of bias or leakageProduce reference analyses and model documentation demonstrating strong technical judgementStatistical Analysis & ExperimentationDevelop tasks involving statistical inference, A/B testing, experimentation, and causal analysisEvaluate experimental designs, metrics, sampling approaches, and statistical conclusionsCreate scenarios involving ambiguous or noisy real-world datasetsAssess whether analytical conclusions are adequately supported by available evidenceProduce reference analyses explaining methodological choices and limitationsData Engineering & Analytics InfrastructureCreate scenarios involving enterprise data pipelines, data transformation, and analytics infrastructureApply familiarity with platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, and comparable data environmentsDevelop tasks involving SQL, Python, R, and large-scale data-processing workflowsEvaluate data architecture and pipeline decisions for reliability, scalability, and analytical usabilityIdentify data-quality, lineage, governance, and integration issuesBusiness Intelligence & Decision SupportDevelop scenarios involving enterprise reporting, dashboards, and business intelligenceCreate tasks using tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or comparable analytics platformsEvaluate metrics, visualisations, and analytical outputs for clarity and decision usefulnessTranslate complex analytical findings into actionable business insightsProduce reference executive-level analyses and recommendationsMLOps & Production AnalyticsDevelop scenarios involving deployment, monitoring, validation, and lifecycle management of machine learning modelsApply familiarity with platforms such as SageMaker, Vertex AI, MLflow, or comparable toolsEvaluate model-monitoring strategies, retraining approaches, and production performanceAssess operational risks including model drift, data changes, and reliability issuesApply MLOps best practices to realistic enterprise machine learning environmentsData Strategy & GovernanceCreate tasks involving enterprise data strategy, analytics governance, and cross-functional decision-makingEvaluate approaches to data quality, privacy, access, governance, and analytical consistencyDevelop scenarios involving competing stakeholder and business requirementsAssess strategic trade-offs across technical capability, risk, cost, and organisational prioritiesProduce reference recommendations reflecting senior-level data and analytics judgementAI Evaluation & Rubric DevelopmentDesign expert-level evaluation tasks across data science and analytics workflowsDraft reference outputs demonstrating authentic professional technical judgementDevelop rubrics that distinguish experienced data science reasoning from generic textbook or tutorial-level responsesReview AI-generated outputs for statistical accuracy, technical quality, and practical relevanceIdentify subtle analytical errors, unsupported conclusions, and unrealistic technical recommendationsProvide clear written rationale supporting evaluation decisionsIdeal Profile5+ years of professional experience in data science, analytics, machine learning engineering, or a closely related fieldExperience as a Data Scientist,
