Job description

  • Develop and implement advanced machine learning, generative AI, natural language processing, statistical modeling, and unsupervised learning approaches across structured and unstructured data.
  • Build and deploy scalable, automated data science products and reusable analytic assets across multiple projects and domains.
  • Analyze large-scale, high-dimensional datasets using modern programming tools and distributed computing platforms to identify trends and actionable insights.
  • Apply expertise across end-to-end data science workflows, including data discovery, structuring, cleaning, enrichment, feature engineering, modeling, validation, deployment, and insight delivery.
  • Make autonomous analytical and modeling decisions based on project goals, including approach selection, exploratory analysis, model development, and visualization.
  • Translate complex analytical findings into clear insights, dashboards, reports, and presentations for technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Develop and review technical code, apply data science and software development best practices, and provide guidance to other data scientists.
  • Partner with engineering and platform teams to deploy, monitor, and maintain machine learning, generative AI, and other advanced analytics solutions.
  • Apply responsible AI and model governance practices, including documentation, explainability, bias assessment, testing, and validation.
