Principal Data Scientist (AI) - Remote (US) This role is part of Hexagon’s ETQ division and focuses on building predictive models, implementing Generative AI and Agentic AI features, and architecting data‑driven solutions for our document‑based compliance management platform.

Responsibilities

Build and deploy Generative AI features using foundation models (AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude) and RAG architectures with vector databases for compliance‑document understanding.

Design agentic AI systems that autonomously handle compliance workflows, document review, regulatory mapping, and multi‑step reasoning tasks.

Implement comprehensive LLM evaluation frameworks with automated pipelines, custom metrics, benchmark datasets, and safety guardrails to ensure regulatory compliance.

Build end‑to‑end MLOps pipelines for model training, deployment, monitoring, versioning, and automated retraining with drift detection.

Develop predictive models for compliance risk scoring, regulatory change impact, anomaly detection, and time‑series forecasting.

Write production‑quality Python code for data processing, feature engineering, API development (FastAPI/Flask), and ETL/ELT workflows.

Lead A/B experiments and product analytics to measure AI feature impact and drive data‑driven decision‑making.

Create explainability frameworks (SHAP/LIME) and monitoring dashboards to ensure transparency and regulatory adherence.

Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to translate business needs into ML solutions and communicate insights to stakeholders.

Qualifications Experience & Education

7+ years in data science, ML engineering, or related roles.

3+ years building NLP/generative AI applications and implementing MLOps in production.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or related field (PhD preferred).
