ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist with deep expertise in Generative AI to lead projects building and implementing advanced LLM-based systems — including chatbots, AI agents, and RAG pipelines. This is a technical leadership role: you'll make architectural decisions, select technologies, set best practices, and mentor other engineers, while remaining hands-on across the full solution lifecycle. You'll work closely with data engineers, product owners, and full-stack developers to deliver scalable GenAI applications for large enterprise clients, primarily in CPG, retail, and manufacturing. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON Solution design and discovery Lead discovery and solution design for GenAI use cases — translating business problems into concrete architectures covering LLM selection, RAG, fine-tuning, agents, and guardrails. End-to-end GenAI applications Build complete GenAI solutions covering data ingestion, retrieval layers, orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph), API and backend, and lightweight UI where needed. RAG pipeline design Design and implement RAG pipelines with vector databases, hybrid search, rerankers, query transformation, and evaluation frameworks for relevance and robustness. Model selection, prompting, and fine-tuning Own prompting strategies, model selection, and fine-tuning (LoRA, QLoRA, SFT) for text, code, and multimodal models, including evaluation and A/B testing. Safety and governance Implement safety, compliance, and governance controls including input/output filters, PII handling, audit logs, and human-in-the-loop review where required. Requirements and estimation Gather technical requirements from stakeholders and produce reliable estimates for planned work. Mentorship and knowledge sharing Mentor other data scientists and engineers in GenAI patterns, code quality, and best practices. Contribute to internal libraries, templates, and reusable components. Staying current Track the GenAI landscape — new open and hosted models, agentic frameworks, evaluation techniques — and run targeted PoCs to validate emerging approaches. WHAT WE LOOK FOR 6+ years in Data Science or AI engineering Broad experience across the data science and AI stack, with a track record of delivering production systems. 4+ years of production Python for AI Fluent in writing production-ready Python for AI and ML workloads — clean, maintainable, and deployable. 2+ years of production LLM development Hands-on experience building and shipping LLM-based systems in production environments, not just research or prototypes. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Able to break down ambiguous problems, make sound architectural decisions under uncertainty, and defend those decisions clearly. Excellent English communication Comfortable working directly with international clients and cross-functional teams. Able to translate technical complexity for non-technical stakeholders. THE TEAM You'll join a specialist Data Science and AI practice working alongside experienced consultants, ML engineers, and data engineers. The team delivers solutions for large international clients across CPG, retail, and manufacturing.
