About the team

The Careem Data Science team’s mission is to drive competitive value from data at scale through building AI models to optimize user experiences, decision making, operational efficiencies, and lead the region’s AI ecosystem. As one of the leaders in this team, you will be at the forefront of fulfilling this mission. You will be working with and leading the top data science talent of the region, leveraging AI to solve the region’s day-to-day problems, through state-of-the-art machine learning, optimization, deep learning, and RL models, that are deployed on top of our own in-house AI platform, serving users in real-time.

What you'll do

• Build a long-term vision on how we can rethink our customer acquisition and engagement strategies, leveraging data in our decision making.
• Drive exploratory analysis to understand the ecosystem, user behavior, identify new levers to help move metrics, and build models of user behaviors for analysis and product enhancements.
• Shape and influence data/ML models and instrumentation to optimize the product experience and generate insights on new areas of opportunity and new products.
• Provide product leadership by sharing data-based recommendations to communicate state of business, root cause of change in metrics, and experimentation results influencing product and business decisions
• Implement scalable machine learning algorithms that will be used in production on big data.
• Embark on exploratory data analysis projects to achievea  better understanding of phenomena as well as to discover untapped areas of growth and optimization. 
• Answer complex analytic questions from big data sets to help Careem shape its products and services in a better way.
• Help define and track the appropriate key metrics for specific projects. 
• Design and run randomized controlled experiments, analyze the resulting data, and communicate results with other teams.
• You will always challenge the status quo and continually investigate new data processing technologies and seek to ensure that we follow the industry best practices.

What you'll need

• Experience in data mining, predictive modeling, time series analysis, machine learning, Big Data methodologies, transformation and cleaning of both structured and unstructured data.
• Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline such as Physics, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering or Computer Science.
• Strong problem solving and coding skills.
• Solid knowledge of and experience with marketplace problems in ride hailing and delivery services. 
• Solid knowledge of AB testing, classic ML and DL
• Solid understanding of recommendations, learning to rank, uplift modeling and matching problems. 
• Fluency in English along with excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Proficiency and demonstrated experience in: Python, SQL, Spark, Hive.
• Demonstrated experience with database technologies (e.g. Hadoop, BigQuery, Amazon EMR, Hive, Oracle, SAP, DB2, Teradata, MS SQL Server, MySQL).
• Demonstrated experience with business intelligence and visualization tools (Tableau, MicroStrategy, ChartIO, Qlik) along with geospatial data processing skills is a plus.
• Knowledge of Agile methodologies.

Are you a STEM expert fluent in Arabic, eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of scientific discovery and technical problem-solving. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline work for engineers, scientists, and analysts everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for STEM specialists who live and breathe mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, data science, computer science, and scientific computing. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like thermodynamics, mechanics, calculus, statistics, materials science, electronics, algorithm design, and quantitative modeling—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on real-world STEM problem-solving scenarios and theoretical technical questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a STEM discipline is ideal; published research, engineering design experience, data analysis projects, or coding portfolios signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.

Ready to turn your STEM expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.

We offer a pay range of $8-to- $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.

With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline academic work for students and professionals everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for mathematics specialists who live and breathe algebra, calculus, number theory, linear algebra, differential equations, statistics, geometry, mathematical logic, and discrete mathematics. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like real and complex analysis, optimization theory, mathematical proofs, set theory, probability distributions, cryptographic algorithms, and applied mathematics—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on classroom problems and theoretical mathematics questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A master’s or PhD in mathematics or a closely related quantitative field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, teaching experience, research in pure or applied mathematics, or hands‑on experience with mathematical modeling signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.
