About The Position

FutureProofing is a talent platform focused on embedding high-caliber technical talent into startups building real AI-driven products. We don’t optimize for academic exercises. We don’t care about Kaggle-only experience. We don’t mass-submit resumes. We work at the intersection of startup execution and real AI product development. Our data scientists help companies build and improve production AI systems — not just research experiments.

Requirements

• 3+ years working in Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, Analytics, or related technical roles
• Strong Python skills and comfort working with modern data/ML tooling
• Experience working with production data systems, AI workflows, or model-driven applications
• Comfortable handling ambiguity and building in fast-moving startup environments
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
• Experience evaluating model quality, experimentation, or AI outputs
• Already experimenting with or deploying AI-powered workflows or products
• Energized by AI and actively using AI tools in your workflow
• Autonomous, detail-oriented, and highly resourceful

• Rapidly prototype and iterate on AI-powered features
• Analyze, evaluate, and improve model outputs and system reliability
• Work closely with engineers, product teams, and founders in fast-moving startup environments
• Use tools like Claude, Cursor, notebooks, copilots, and AI-assisted workflows daily

• We cover 100% of the training cost
• We match intentionally, not through keyword filtering
• We embed talent directly into startup teams
• We focus on output, ownership, and execution speed
