Data Scientist

Position Description

This role is hybrid and requires you to be at our Client office at a minimum 4 days per week - subject to change at any time.

We're looking for an AI/ML Engineer with hands‑on experience building and deploying production‑grade models, including Generative AI solutions. You will design, train, evaluate, and operationalize models on modern cloud data platforms, implement robust MLOps/LLMOps practices, and collaborate with data, platform, and product teams to drive end‑to‑end delivery.

Your future duties and responsibilities

• Model Development: Design, train, fine‑tune, and evaluate ML and GenAI models (supervised/unsupervised, NLP, CV, and LLM‑based use cases).
• Model Deployment: Package and deploy models to production using containers and CI/CD; implement scalable serving with REST/gRPC, batch, and streaming pipelines.
• MLOps/LLMOps: Establish automated training, evaluation, model registry, feature store integration, monitoring (data drift, model drift, latency, cost), and safe rollback.
• GenAI Engineering: Build prompts, retrieval pipelines (RAG), and model adapters/LoRA; evaluate with quantitative metrics and human‑in‑the‑loop reviews.
• Data Engineering Collaboration: Ingest, transform, and validate datasets; partner with data engineering on schema design, data contracts, and lineage.
• Cloud & Platforms: Operate on AWS and/or Snowflake for storage, compute, orchestration, and governance; optimize cost/performance.
• Observability & Reliability: Instrument models and data pipelines with logging, tracing, metrics, and alerting; ensure SLAs/SLOs for availability and latency.
• Documentation & Compliance: Produce clear design docs, model cards, and runbooks; adhere to security, privacy, and responsible AI guidelines.
  
  

Required Qualifications To Be Successful In This Role

• AI/ML: Proficiency in Python and common ML stacks; strong with TensorFlow and/or PyTorch for training, fine‑tuning, and inference.
• Generative AI: Experience with LLMs or diffusion models; prompt engineering, RAG, evaluation frameworks, and safety/guardrail techniques.
• MLOps/LLMOps: Hands‑on with CI/CD for ML (e.g., GitHub Actions/GitLab CI), model packaging (Docker), model registries, feature stores, and monitoring.
• Cloud Data Platforms: Practical experience with AWS (e.g., S3, ECR, ECS/EKS, SageMaker, Lambda, Step Functions) and Snowflake (Snowpark, warehouses, governance).
• Data Pipelines: Building and operating ETL/ELT; familiarity with orchestration (Airflow/Prefect); schema management and data quality checks.
• Collaboration: Ability to work with cross‑functional teams (Data Eng, Platform, Product, Security) and communicate trade‑offs clearly.
  
  

Nice To Have (Preferred)

• Streaming: Kafka for real‑time features, streaming inference, and event‑driven retraining (optional as per your note).
• Vector/RAG: Experience with vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Milvus, pgvector) and chunking/indexing strategies.
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform/CloudFormation; Kubernetes (EKS) for model serving and autoscaling.
• Experiment Tracking: MLflow/Weights & Biases/Comet for experiment lineage and governance.
• Testing: Unit/integration tests for data/model pipelines; regression/benchmark suites for models.
• Security & Compliance: Secrets management, IAM, PII handling, and Responsible AI practices.
• Snowflake Advanced: Snowpark ML, external functions, UDFs for in‑database ML.
  
  

Tools & Technologies (Representative)

• Languages/Frameworks: Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit‑learn, Transformers
• MLOps/LLMOps: MLflow, Weights & Biases, Docker, K8s, model registries, feature stores
• Cloud/Data: AWS (S3, ECR/ECS/EKS, SageMaker), Snowflake (Snowpark), SQL
• Pipelines & Orchestration: Airflow/Prefect, dbt (optional), REST/gRPC endpoints
• Streaming (Optional): Kafka/Kafka Connect/KSQL
• Observability: Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch
  
  

What You'll Deliver (Outcomes)

• Productionized ML/GenAI services with defined SLAs/SLOs
• Automated training and deployment pipelines with traceable experiment lineage
• Reliable data and model monitoring (quality, drift, performance, cost)
• Clear documentation (architecture, model cards, runbooks) and knowledge transfer
