Senior Data Scientist

We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist with a strong foundation in Python and extensive expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs) and prompt engineering. This role requires someone who can quickly adapt and make meaningful contributions by focusing on model prompting, data exploration, and optimization, rather than traditional predictive modeling. As a senior member of the team, you’ll be expected to lead key initiatives, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and guide the development of innovative solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

Model Development: Lead the design and development of NLP and other models to enhance LLM capabilities.
Data Analysis: Drive data exploration and analysis to uncover actionable insights that inform model development and performance improvements.
Feature Engineering: Identify, create, and optimize features that enhance model accuracy and performance.
Model Evaluation: Conduct comprehensive testing, validation, and performance evaluation of models to ensure high reliability and effectiveness.
LLM Development: Collaborate closely with team members to build, refine, and optimize the LLM to meet evolving project requirements.
Leadership & Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with data engineers, developers, and stakeholders to integrate models into applications and systems.
Mentorship: Provide guidance and mentorship to junior data scientists and other team members, helping to develop best practices and ensure technical excellence.
