Data Scientist

Shinebask Technologies is hiring a Data Scientist in Auburn Hills, MI (onsite) to build and deploy production ML and LLM solutions on AWS.

Responsibilities

• Provide operational support for production ML/AI systems, including monitoring and incident response
• Implement model governance and monitoring (drift detection, performance tracking, and periodic retraining/tuning cycles)
• Design human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop workflows for model oversight, retraining, and tuning
• Apply judgment to select appropriate techniques, including when to use AI/LLM approaches versus traditional methods
• Define measurable testing and evaluation criteria for model performance and quality
• Write automated test cases, including AI-assisted approaches to generate test coverage for model builds
• Integrate AI governance, legal, and security requirements into model development and embed guardrails
• Build and deploy ML solutions on AWS, including LLM/agentic and RAG systems
• Support production operations, including DevSecOps and CI-CD for ML/AI workloads
• Create interactive front-end applications to surface model outputs to end users

Requirements

• Hands-on experience building and deploying ML solutions on AWS
• Proven experience with LLMs, including OpenAI models/APIs and current knowledge of leading LLM model families
• Hands-on experience building agentic AI systems (multi-agent orchestration, tool use, autonomous workflows)
• Experience building RAG systems, including semantic RAG (embeddings, vector databases, semantic retrieval)
• Deep understanding of data: exploration, quality, feature engineering, and impact on outcomes
• Strong coding proficiency in Python and Java
• Experience building front-end interactive applications to expose model outputs (e.g., React, TypeScript, or Java-based UI)
• Practical experience with Docker/containers and GPU compute for training/inference
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for ML/AI workloads
• Working knowledge of DevSecOps practices applied to ML pipelines
• Familiarity with ML/AI frameworks, including (as examples) PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, and LangChain/LlamaIndex or similar agentic/RAG frameworks
