  • Architect and implement solutions involving LLMs, transformer-based models, and AI agents for generative tasks and automation. 

  • Manage and mentor a team of data scientists; guide project execution and professional development.

  • Own model lifecycle: from data exploration to production deployment and monitoring (MLOps). 

  • Engage with multimodal data: text, image, audio, or behavioral data from web and app interactions. 

  • Ensure quality, reproducibility, and documentation of models and findings. 

Qualifications

  • MS or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field. 
  • 3 - 5+ years of experience in applied machine learning and advanced analytics.

  • Proficiency in Python (and optionally R or Scala), including libraries like scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch. ect 

  • Hands-on experience with generative models (e.g., GPT, diffusion models) or multimodal AI. Experience using these models during development. 

  • Strong SQL and data engineering skills; Spark/Databricks experience is a plus. 

  • Experience deploying ML models to production (API, batch, or streaming environments). 

  • Comfortable leading projects and collaborating cross-functionally in a fast-paced, client-facing setting. 

  • Familiarity with A/B testing platforms (Optimizely, Adobe Target), cloud AI services, or explainable AI tools. 

  • The Salary range for this position is $110,000 - $160,000 - depending on experience and qualifications
