This full-time position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects and collaborate with a dynamic team of professionals. What you'll be doing As part of IT Innovation projects, you will join the AI Factory/Innovation team as a Senior Data Scientist with a dual strategic role: technology watch and AI model development. Mission 1 - Technology watch and feasibility: You will be the technical reference for new AI/ML approaches (LLMs, new architectures, emerging techniques). You will assess the technical feasibility of business use cases, benchmark market solutions (vendors, open-source), and deliver quick POCs (2-3 days) to validate hypotheses before major investment. Mission 2 - AI model development: You will design and develop ML/DL models for selected use cases, from algorithm selection to final optimisation. You will build rapid prototypes (POCs in 2-4 weeks) and support a junior Data Scientist in developing their skills. As a vibe coding expert, you use generative AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) to accelerate data exploration, model prototyping, analysis code generation and documentation, while maintaining a critical mindset regarding the results. You will work in an agile mode, closely with the Products & Innovation business teams, AI developers, architects and other Data Scientists. Targeted profile : Senior Data Scientist with banking/finance experience, expert in ML/DL and proficient in vibe coding, able to quickly assess the technical feasibility of AI use cases, develop POCs, and stay at the forefront of technological advances. Technology watch and feasibility:\nWeekly technology watch on AI advances (papers, new approaches, tools)\nRapid technical feasibility assessments of business use cases (2-3 days max)\nBenchmark of market solutions (vendors vs open-source) with decision matrix\nQuick POCs to validate hypotheses before major investment\nClear and actionable technical recommendations for decision-makers\nParticipation in business workshops to understand needs AI model development:\nDesign and development of ML/DL models for priority use cases\nJustified choice of algorithms and technical approaches (baseline, state-of-the-art)\nFeature engineering and model optimisation (performance, robustness)\nRapid prototyping using vibe coding (POC in 2-4 weeks)\nRigorous validation of models (metrics, robustness, bias)\nComprehensive technical documentation (notebooks, methodology, results)\nCollaboration with AI developers for industrialisation Mentoring and knowledge sharing:\nSupport to the junior Data Scientist (pair programming, code reviews)\nKnowledge transfer on advanced techniques and best practices\nSharing of technology watch findings with the team (tech talks, documentation)\nContribution to the library of prompts and vibe coding techniques\nFacilitation of technical workshops and feedback sessions What we're looking for\nBachelor's or Master degree in information technology or equivalent\nAt least 7 years of experience in Data Science / Machine Learning\nProven experience in the banking/finance sector (understanding of business challenges)\nDemonstrated experience in vibe coding with productive use of AI tools for rapid prototyping\nExpertise in ML/DL: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, NLP, time series\nProficiency in Python frameworks: scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, XGBoost, LightGBM\nIn-depth knowledge of LLMs and modern techniques (fine-tuning, RAG, prompt engineering, agents)\nExpertise in feature engineering and variable selection\nStrong skills in exploratory data analysis and statistics\nExperience in model evaluation and optimisation (hyperparameter tuning, cross-validation)\nKey Responsibilities\nAbout the role HCL Technologies Malaysia SDN BHD is seeking a motivated and talented Senior Data Scientist to join our team in Kuala Lumpur.
