Summary:
- Hands-on Senior Data Scientist converting ambiguous scientific/business opportunities into measurable AI product hypotheses, experiments, and working solutions.
- Partner with AI, Data, App/Cloud, Frontend engineers, product owners, and domain experts to build/evaluate AI systems across R&D, Commercialization, Manufacturing, and Enabling Functions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Frame questions into AI hypotheses, success metrics, evaluation plans, and rapid experiments; contribute to agile AI Accelerator cycles.
- Build prototypes using Python, SQL, notebooks, APIs, and AWS-aligned data services.
- Support sandboxed/non-production data problem solving (branch/transform/test/audit code+data experiments).
- Evaluate/curate analytical context (instructions, memory, tools, warehouse context, curated source meaning) and build analytical features (embeddings/classifiers/ranking/recommendations/simulation/optimization).
- Partner with Data Engineers on datasets, retrieval corpora, metadata, and feature pipelines (S3, Athena, PostgreSQL/RDS, vector DBs, knowledge graphs).
- Design evaluations for LLM/RAG/agentic workflows; create rubrics/golden datasets, validate structured outputs, taxonomy hallucination risk, SME review loops.
- Use LangGraph/LangSmith/PydanticAI (or similar) to test agent behavior and reliability; assess context vs raw retrieval.
- Define KPIs/measurement plans; use demos/sprint reviews to assess MVP progress; apply statistical/experimental/causal or quasi-experimental methods.
- Create analyses/visualizations/narratives explaining behavior, limitations, and opportunities; partner on responsible AI/privacy/governance.
Qualifications & Required/Preferred Skills:
- BS+ in Data Science/Statistics/CS/Engineering/Bioinformatics/Computational Biology/Applied Math or related.
- 5+ years in data science/ML/applied AI/analytics.
- Proficient in Python, SQL, R; pandas/NumPy/scikit-learn/PyTorch/TensorFlow/statsmodels.
- Experience with ML/statistics/NLP/information retrieval/experimentation/decision science; LLM apps, RAG, agentic AI, prompt/evaluation design, structured outputs, context-quality evaluation.
- Familiarity with AWS services (S3, Athena, RDS/PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, SageMaker, Bedrock) and vector DBs/knowledge graphs/embeddings.
- Experience with evaluation rubrics, hallucination risk, causal inference, simulation/optimization/recommendations; Streamlit preferred for prototyping.
- Communicate findings to technical/non-technical audiences; use coding agents (Claude Code/Codex/Gemini CLI/Copilot).
Benefits (explicitly listed):
- Health coverage (medical/pharmacy/dental/vision), wellbeing support (accounts/EAP), financial protection (401(k), disability, life/accident/supplemental insurance, travel protection, legal support, identity theft).
- Paid time off; US exempt employees: flexible time off (unlimited) + 11 paid national holidays; other listed groups: 160 hours annual vacation + holidays.
