- Apply large language models (LLMs), natural language processing, retrieval, and other advanced AI techniques to improve agent understanding and performance.
- Develop approaches that improve agent reasoning, tool selection, knowledge retrieval, context management, personalization, and task completion.
- Experiment with model, prompt, retrieval, and agent configuration strategies to identify approaches that deliver the best customer and business outcomes.
- Evaluate commercial and open-source models and recommend appropriate approaches based on quality, latency, scalability, and cost.
- Design, develop, and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions that ground digital agents in relevant enterprise and customer information.
- Develop and evaluate embeddings, retrieval strategies, ranking approaches, semantic search, and other knowledge-retrieval techniques.
- Build and refine end-to-end pipelines that combine LLMs with retrieval systems, enterprise knowledge sources, and agent workflows.
- Develop approaches to improve the relevance, accuracy, and consistency of AI-generated responses.
- Identify and mitigate issues such as hallucinations, poor retrieval, inappropriate responses, and other failure modes in generative AI applications.
- Develop rigorous evaluation frameworks for measuring digital agent quality, including accuracy, relevance, task completion, reliability, safety, and customer experience.
- Design offline and online experiments to compare models, prompts, retrieval strategies, agent configurations, and other AI approaches.
- Apply statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, segmentation, and other quantitative methods to evaluate AI performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Define appropriate metrics and benchmarks that connect model and agent performance to customer and business outcomes.
- Analyze production behavior and feedback to identify patterns, failure modes, and opportunities to continuously improve digital agents.
- Ensure data and model quality through comprehensive testing, validation, and performance evaluation.
- Gather, preprocess, analyze, and model large volumes of structured and unstructured data from multiple sources.
- Use Python, SQL, Spark, and other relevant technologies to build scalable analytical and machine learning solutions.
- Develop features, datasets, and analytical approaches that support model development, experimentation, and evaluation.
- Partner with data and engineering teams to build and maintain reliable pipelines for model training, evaluation, and production use.
- Contribute to scalable ML/AI pipelines that support experimentation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
- Ensure solutions are reproducible, maintainable, and designed to operate effectively at production scale.
- Partner with Product, AI/ML Engineering, Software Engineering, and other Data Science team members to translate customer and business problems into effective AI solutions.
- Communicate analytical findings, model performance, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Participate in technical and design reviews and help establish strong practices for AI experimentation, evaluation, and model development.
- Mentor and support less experienced data scientists and contribute to knowledge sharing across the team.
- Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Machine Learning, Analytics, or a related quantitative field; Master's degree preferred.
- 4+ years of professional experience in data science, machine learning, applied AI, or a related analytical field.
- Strong experience developing and applying supervised and unsupervised machine learning models to real-world problems.
- Hands-on experience with generative AI, large language models, NLP, or other modern AI technologies.
- Strong programming skills in Python and experience with SQL and large-scale data processing technologies.
- Experience with modern machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, or equivalent technologies.
- Strong understanding of statistical analysis, experimentation, hypothesis testing, model evaluation, and performance measurement.
- Experience working with large volumes of structured and unstructured data.
- Demonstrated ability to independently frame ambiguous problems, develop analytical approaches, evaluate alternatives, and deliver actionable solutions.
- Experience taking machine learning or AI solutions beyond experimentation and contributing to their deployment and operation in production environments.
- Understanding of model quality, data quality, bias, reliability, and other considerations associated with production AI systems.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to connect technical results to customer and business outcomes.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex analytical and AI concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across Data Science, AI/ML Engineering, Software Engineering, Product, and business teams.
