About the Role
The Data Science team applies modern AI and machine learning techniques to develop practical, high-impact solutions that help the business adapt, innovate, and operate at scale.
Responsibilities
- Build, test, and deploy production-grade AI and machine learning solutions using both classical methods and generative AI approaches, including LLMs, RAG, fine-tuning, prompt optimization, and agentic workflows.
- Conduct applied research to evaluate new AI and machine learning techniques for complex business problems and identify practical opportunities for adoption.
- Design and implement evaluation frameworks to measure model quality, robustness, reliability, and business impact.
- Partner closely with product managers, data engineers, and business stakeholders to translate research findings and business needs into scalable, production-ready solutions.
- Contribute to real-time and batch data pipeline workflows in collaboration with data engineering, and support monitoring, logging, metrics, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop review processes.
- Communicate technical concepts, research outcomes, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Stay current with emerging AI and machine learning developments and apply relevant advances thoughtfully to ongoing work.
- Maintain high standards for code quality, documentation, and review practices to support reliability and long-term maintainability.
Requirements
- 3+ years of industry or applied research experience.
- Strong foundation in machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, statistical analysis, algorithms, and data structures.
- Hands-on experience building and deploying AI and machine learning solutions, ideally including LLMs, generative AI, prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, and agentic systems.
- Strong Python programming skills and experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or scikit-learn.
- Familiarity with LLM and AI application frameworks such as Hugging Face, LangChain, and LlamaIndex.
- Experience working with at least one cloud platform.
- Knowledge of vector databases, big data ecosystems, and MLOps or LLMOps tooling.
- Exposure to AI-assisted coding tools such as Claude, Codex, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor.
- Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work independently, manage ambiguity, and learn quickly in a fast-moving environment.
