About the role

You will identify the gap between a validation score and a real one. Leakage, split design, and the distance between what a model reports about itself and what the holdout says.

What you will do

  • Designing tasks where the obvious validation strategy is the wrong one
  • Reviewing agent runs for leakage, tampered folds, and unfixed seeds
  • Measuring the gap between self-reported CV and official holdout
  • Building submissions that score well for the wrong reasons

Who we are looking for

  • Competition record: Kaggle Grandmaster or Master, or equivalent applied track record
  • Leakage instinct: You find the target buried in a feature before you trust the score
  • Split discipline: Time-aware, group-aware, and distribution-shift-aware validation
  • Honesty: Comfort reporting that your own result did not hold

Credential

Kaggle Grandmaster or Master preferred.

Pay

Up to $160 an hour for this role. Each role shows its top hourly rate, from up to $40 for generalist review to up to $300 for portfolio managers. Your starting rate depends on your credentials; sustained quality moves you towards the top rate. Joining the waitlist is not an offer of work; rates are agreed in writing before any project starts.
