We are seeking a highly technical individual contributor with extensive hands-on experience, as we are an applied data science team operating in an agile and production-oriented environment. You will be focused on Large Language Models (LLMs) and Machine Learning (ML), acting as a primary technical driver for our most complex projects.

Your Responsibilities

• End-to-End Development: Lead the development and successful delivery of data science and generative AI solutions in accordance with business requirements.

• Production Oversight: Monitor solutions in production to ensure performance, reliability, and accuracy.

• Technical Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams including product managers, engineers, and business leaders to translate requirements into technical reality.

• Evaluation & Quality: Build robust evaluation frameworks to measure LLM efficacy, manage ground truth dataset quality, and guide the product development roadmap.

• Architecture: Design scalable ML pipelines and RAG frameworks that integrate seamlessly with enterprise data structures.

What is Needed to be Successful

• 8+ years of Engineering Experience in a development environment

• 6+ years of experience in a data science role, with a strong emphasis on NLP and ML, working in an agile production-oriented environment.

• 3+ years of practical experience with open-source Large Language Models (Llama 3, Mixtral, etc.), including prompt engineering, inference optimization, and fine-tuning.

• 3+ years of experience building Generative AI Solutions, including designing and building RAG frameworks, validation pipelines, observability, and monitoring solutions.

• Proven Delivery: Experience successfully delivering multiple GenAI, analytical, or ML projects from conception through to production.

• Python Expertise: Strong, expert-level proficiency in Python and its data science ecosystem (e.g., PyTorch, Pandas, Scikit-learn).

• Education: Master’s degree in data science, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.

Added Bonus / Preferred Qualifications

• Palantir Platform Experience: Hands-on experience or certification in the Palantir platform (Foundry/AIP).

• Ontology Mastery: A strong understanding of Ontology—specifically how to map complex real-world data entities and relationships into a digital twin framework to power AI applications.

• Large-scale Data Infrastructure: Strong understanding of performance optimization in big data environments, with hands-on experience using distributed data processing frameworks such as Apache Spark or PySpark.

• Agentic Solution: Experience implementing advanced agentic architectures, such as autonomous agents capable of multi-step reasoning and decision-making or integrating agentic solutions with large-scale enterprise systems.

Required Competencies

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

• A "hands-on" mindset with the desire to be a primary technical lead through code quality and architectural excellence.
