Your role as Efficacy Data Scientist

As an Efficacy Data Scientist for Futurewhiz (StudyGo / Squla), you’ll be responsible for ensuring the validity and educational quality of large-scale learning content produced via both human-in-the-loop and fully automated processes. Your main goal will be to develop and monitor robust systems for evaluating educational content, establishing clear benchmarks, and ensuring that all materials meet high standards of accuracy and effectiveness. While your primary focus will be on content quality, you’ll also have opportunities to contribute more broadly to our data-driven learning strategy and AI evaluation initiatives when possible. You’ll work in a team of content producers and educational designers, collaborating more broadly with AI developers, product managers, and data engineers.

Specifically, you will:

• Develop processes and benchmarks to assess the educational validity of content produced at scale

• Monitor and evaluate both human-created and AI-generated content for accuracy, clarity, and effectiveness

• Build and maintain tools to support automated and human-in-the-loop evaluation workflows

• Collaborate with content producers to align on educational standards and continuously improve content quality

• Translate evaluation findings into actionable insights for content creators and stakeholders

• Ensure data integrity, reproducibility, and ethical practice in all evaluation activities

• Contribute to broader efficacy and impact measurement initiatives as needed

• Deep commitment to educational quality and validity

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and ability to run and evaluate A/B tests

• Proficiency in coding with Python or R

• Interest in researching and improving evaluation systems

• Ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical teams

• Attention to detail and a passion for accuracy

• Adaptability and willingness to contribute broadly when needed

What we offer

• A gross monthly salary of €4000 to €4600 (based on 40 hours, depending on experience)

• 24 vacation days, + 3 assigned days off + 1 skipping school day

• Collective pension and health insurance
