💡 Where You’ll Thrive: Our Work Environment

This isn’t a cubicle-and-coffee kind of job. We believe the best ideas come when you're comfy, caffeinated, and maybe wearing fuzzy socks. As a remote ethics scientist, you’ll work:

• Jupyter notebooks, GitHub repositories, and collaborative ethical design platforms.
• Tableau and Power BI for storytelling through data visualizations.
• NLP toolkits for identifying problematic language patterns in datasets.
• Version-controlled documentation for ethical analysis and reproducibility.

🎓 What You Bring to the Table

• A background in data science, AI ethics, social science, philosophy of technology—or all four if you’re delightfully interdisciplinary.
• Minimum 3 years working in roles that balanced technical knowledge with ethical considerations.
• Familiarity with bias mitigation frameworks, remote analytics, and digital impact assessment.

🧠 Thoughtful and Curious Mindset

• Not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions or challenge popular tech narratives.

🗣 Strong Communicator and Collaborator

• Can translate complex technical-ethical dilemmas into clear, inspiring language.
• Skilled in remote communication and building trust across Zoom calls and Slack threads.

This is not just a job—it’s a vocation. And we believe that passion should be paid fairly.

• Annual Salary: $134,280
• Generous wellness and creativity stipends.
• Health benefits that cover your body and your brain.
• Paid time off that encourages proper rest, reflection, and maybe even a digital detox.
• Access to mentorship circles and ethics-in-tech roundtables.

🚀 Growth Path: Where This Can Take You

We see you not just as a data ethics scientist, but as a future chief of responsible AI, a published author on digital ethics, or the next go-to keynote speaker at the World AI Forum. With us, your voice will grow louder, and your impact will be more profound.

• Publish whitepapers and op-eds that shape the industry’s moral compass.
• Lead high-profile ethical investigations into new AI products.
