Description

Work with key stakeholders to understand the underlying business needs and formulate the needs into discrete, manageable problems with well-defined measurable objectives and outcomes. Transform formulated problems into implementation plans by defining success metrics, applying/creating the appropriate methods, algorithms, and tools, as well as delivering statistically valid and reliable results. Write robust, reusable, and extensible code to support analysis and modeling. Develop new ML and GenAI based models using advanced statistical, ML and LLM techniques. Lead the evaluation of various GenAI based solutions, diagnosing issues and identifying root causes to support potential fine-tuning or reinforcement learning based fixes. Use AI-powered tools in your daily work to accelerate coding, analysis, and other tasks. Bachelor's degree in data science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or related field AND 8+ years related experience (e.g., managing structured and unstructured data, applying statistical techniques and reporting results) OR master's degree in data science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or related field AND 6+ year(s) related experience Expertise in Python , PySpark, and SQL, LLMs Experience in Spark and ability to write/maintain/understand declarative Spark code and to cleanly write and maintain SQL. Knowledge of finer operational aspects of Spark such as setting optimal cluster size, executor memory, number of executors etc. and experience in Azure Synapse/Databricks (or similar) is a bonus.
