About the job
Role: Data Scientist
Duration: 12 Months
Location: Open for Remote Work from the US
As a senior-level scientist, you will primarily be responsible for one major release at a time with a high degree of individual ownership. While not all research leads to successful deployed systems, past successes have seen a general availability launch typically ~6 months from project start. Our solutions have used a wide range of approaches, including: agentic systems and model context protocol (MCP) servers, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), classical machine learning, knowledge graphs, and simply well-designed data transformations and business logic – our focus is on solving problems rather than the technology used.
Requirements:
- Graduate degree in a STEM field such as Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of experience developing AI / ML applications and data driven solutions
- Excellent knowledge of Python and core data science libraries such as pandas, scikit-learn, LangChain, etc.
- Experience with LLMs, e.g. foundation model APIs, prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation
- Substantial depth and breadth across state-of-the-art AI / ML techniques such as Generative AI, NLP, Deep Learning, etc.
- Understanding of CS fundamentals, computational complexity, and algorithm design
- Ability to engineer and deploy well-architected software packages
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, ability to independently own and execute a project holistically at a high level
- Experience mentoring junior team members
Preferred Qualifications:
- Deep expertise in engineering agentic AI systems
- Knowledge of the healthcare / pharma domain and experience applying AI to healthcare data
- Experience with AWS, especially ECS, Bedrock, SageMaker, serverless compute and storage
- Ability to prototype PoC webapps with familiarity across the full stack
- Expert usage of AI coding tools and workflows
