As a Senior Data Scientist, you will lead machine learning research, develop, and optimize large-scale AI models. You will collaborate closely with ML engineers and data engineers to scale AI models, integrate them into cloud platforms, and ensure optimal performance following MLOps best practices. Deep Learning & AI Frameworks: Develop and optimize models using PyTorch, ONNX, CUDA, and TensorRT. Neural Network Architectures: Design, implement, and fine-tune advanced architectures, including Transformers, Diffusion Models, and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) for scalable AI solutions. Multimodal LLMs & Vision-Question Understanding (VQU): Apply and fine-tune Multimodal LLMs (e.g., DeepSeek-Vision, Janus Pro, LLaMA-3.2 Vision, CLIP, LLaVA, BLIP, Flamingo) for image-based reasoning and question understanding. Object Detection & Computer Vision: Implement YOLO, Faster R-CNN, DETR, and similar models for real-world applications, including risk analysis. Large-Scale Distributed Training: Develop and deploy training pipelines on cloud and GPU clusters. Model Optimization & Risk Analysis: Improve model performance, detect drift, conduct A/B testing, and assess risks in AI-driven solutions. MLOps & Cloud Deployment: Utilize Databricks MLflow, Unity Catalog, or AWS SageMaker for model tracking and deployment. Implement CI/CD pipelines, workflow automation, monitoring, and automated testing for robust AI deployment. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to effectively integrate AI solutions. Minimum Qualifications 6+ years of experience in Data Science or Machine Learning Engineering. Expertise in deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorRT, ONNX, CUDA). Experience with Multimodal LLMs & Vision-Language Models. Proficiency in Object Detection & Computer Vision models. Experience with large-scale distributed training on cloud/GPU clusters. Strong background in model optimization, A/B testing, and drift detection. Bachelor's or Master's degree in a STEM field (e.g., Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science).

We invite you to complete the optional self-identification questions below used for compliance with government regulations and record-keeping guidelines. Any self-identification information provided will not be considered in the selection process. If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by selecting the appropriate category(ies). The hiring employer is subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA) and requests this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts it undertakes pursuant to VEVRAA. We are required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years. Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.
