- Design and implement machine learning algorithms to address complex business problems.
- Analyze large datasets to derive insights informing decision-making.
- Work with product managers and engineers to integrate data science solutions into enterprise products.
- Effectively communicate findings and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Keep abreast of advancements in data science and machine learning technologies.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
- Experience with Generative AI, LLMs, and RAG systems.
- Claude/Anthropic-based development or similar GenAI tools.
- Strong communication and client-facing capabilities.
- Experience with ML algorithms and statistical modeling techniques.
- Proficiency in Python or R and data manipulation libraries.
- Experience with big data technologies such as Hadoop or Spark.
- Excellent analytical skills with the ability to convey complex findings to non-technical stakeholders.
- A degree in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related disciplines.
