- Manage the end-to-end data science lifecycle, including exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, model development, deployment, and monitoring.
- Identify and resolve algorithmic bias, model performance issues, and production bottlenecks.
- Ensure models are accurate, robust, scalable, and suitable for production environments.
Generative AI & LLM Implementation:
- Develop and implement Generative AI solutions to address complex business problems.
- Work with Large Language Models (LLMs), including prompt engineering, output optimization, and fine-tuning where applicable.
- Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) solutions.
- Explore and integrate advanced NLP techniques for data extraction, automation, and decision-making.
- Work with Agentic AI frameworks, such as LangGraph, to build intelligent AI workflows and applications.
Strategic Insights & Communication:
- Translate complex statistical analysis and model outputs into clear and actionable business recommendations.
- Collaborate with business leaders to identify high-impact AI and Data Science opportunities.
- Define KPIs and success metrics for AI/ML models and solutions.
- Prepare and present technical findings and recommendations to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Act as a subject matter expert in Data Science, Machine Learning, Generative AI, and AI ethics.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline.
- 6 - 10 years of progressive experience in Data Science, with significant experience in a senior or staff-level role.
- Proven experience developing and deploying Generative AI or LLM-integrated production systems.
- Strong proficiency in Python and machine learning libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Scikit-learn.
- Hands-on experience with Agentic AI frameworks, such as LangGraph.
- Strong knowledge of statistical modeling, time-series modeling, experimental design/A-B testing, and causal inference.
- Experience working with large datasets, distributed computing technologies such as Spark, and data warehousing concepts.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior experience working within Google and PLX environments.
- Experience with GCP, Vertex AI, and MLOps frameworks.
- Knowledge of data governance, AI safety, and data security best practices.
