About this role

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to design and deliver Generative AI applications as part of the Growth Analytics & AI team. You will build innovative, scalable, and reliable LLM-based solutions that produce insights from conversational and long-form unstructured data. These solutions inform business strategy, increase operational efficiency, and improve customer experience.

Focus on designing, building, and deploying LLM-based applications for conversational intelligence and insight generation. Develop multi-step AI workflows including retrieval, orchestration, routing, and tool-using patterns. Define and implement evaluation approaches for LLM applications covering response quality, reliability, safety, and value.

Work with large-scale structured and unstructured data using modern data platforms like Spark, Databricks, and Snowflake. Partner with product, engineering, and platform teams to translate complex business problems into production-ready AI solutions. Ensure solutions align with enterprise standards for security, privacy, compliance, and responsible AI.

Combine strong applied GenAI and machine learning expertise with solid software engineering practices. Demonstrate curiosity in exploring new approaches and use cases while communicating effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Move high-value use cases from concept to impact within Eastern or Central Standard Time zones.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of experience (or Master's degree and 3+ years) in computer science, data science, engineering, or a related quantitative field.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern development practices for AI applications.
  • Expertise in working with natural language data and building text-based products, using both classic and state-of-the-art NLP techniques (e.g. text mining, word embeddings, transformer-based models).
  • Experience with LLM prompt engineering and architectural patterns for LLM systems (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, multi-agent designs).
  • Hands-on experience building tool-integrated and agent-based LLM workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar.
  • Experience working with cloud and data platforms such as Azure, Databricks, GCP, and Snowflake.
  • Experience designing, evaluating, and supporting AI applications in production or enterprise environments.
  • Experience with data governance, privacy, security, and compliance requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deploy LLM-based applications for conversational intelligence and insight generation.
  • Develop multi-step AI workflows, including retrieval, orchestration, routing, and tool-using patterns.
  • Define and implement evaluation approaches for LLM applications, including response quality, reliability, safety, and value.
  • Work with large-scale structured and unstructured data using modern data platforms (e.g., Spark, Databricks, Snowflake).
  • Partner with engineering teams to move GenAI solutions from prototype to production.
  • Write clean, maintainable code and contribute to shared development practices such as version control, documentation, and code review.
  • Ensure solutions align with enterprise standards for security, privacy, compliance, and responsible AI.

Benefits

  • Work within Eastern or Central Standard Time zones.
  • Home or Hybrid Home/Office employment.
