Our Client, a Real Estate and Financial Services company, is looking for a Data Scientist Specialist for their McLean, VA location.

Responsibilities

Architect and implement scalable AI Agents, Agentic Workflows and GenAI applications to address diverse and complex business use cases.

Develop, fine-tune, and optimize lightweight LLMs; lead the evaluation and adaptation of models such as Claude (Anthropic), Azure OpenAI, and open-source alternatives.

Design and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Graph RAG systems using vector databases and knowledge bases.

Curate enterprise data using connectors integrated with AWS Bedrock's Knowledge Base/Elastic

Implement solutions leveraging MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) communication.

Build and maintain Jupyter-based notebooks using platforms like SageMaker and MLFlow/Kubeflow on Kubernetes (EKS).

Collaborate with cross-functional teams of UI and microservice engineers, designers, and data engineers to build full-stack Gen AI experiences.

Integrate GenAI solutions with enterprise platforms via API-based methods and GenAI standardized patterns.

Establish and enforce validation procedures with Evaluation Frameworks, bias mitigation, safety protocols, and guardrails for production-ready deployment.

Design & build robust ingestion pipelines that extract, chunk, enrich, and anonymize data from PDFs, video, and audio sources for use in LLM-powered workflows—leveraging best practices like semantic chunking and privacy controls

Orchestrate multimodal pipelines using scalable frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, PySpark) for automated ETL/ELT workflows appropriate for unstructured media

Implement embeddings drives—map media content to vector representations using embedding models, and integrate with vector stores (AWS KnowledgeBase/Elastic/Mongo Atlas) to support RAG architectures
