The Senior Data Scientist is responsible for designing, developing, and delivering advanced Artificial Intelligence and Agentic AI solutions that address complex business challenges and enhance customer experiences. This role combines expertise in Data Science, Machine Learning, Generative AI, and software architecture to deliver scalable, production-ready AI products and platforms.
The position serves as a senior technical contributor who collaborates across Product, Engineering, Data, and Business teams to define solution strategies, drive implementation, and ensure successful delivery of AI-enabled capabilities. The role requires strong technical depth, business understanding, architectural thinking, and the ability to independently lead large and complex initiatives from concept through production deployment. This aligns with your demonstrated work on AI architecture, product specifications, performance engineering, and agent-based solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and deploy scalable AI, Machine Learning, Generative AI, and Agentic AI solutions, including intelligent assistants, copilots, conversational systems, and enterprise-grade AI products that solve complex business problems and deliver measurable value.
- Translate business requirements into scalable AI architectures and technical solutions by defining solution designs, integration strategies, technical specifications, data flows, and implementation approaches while ensuring alignment with security, governance, reliability, maintainability, and responsible AI standards.
- Develop, evaluate, and optimize AI and machine learning models and platforms, establishing testing frameworks, performance metrics, monitoring, observability, and production-readiness practices to improve accuracy, scalability, efficiency, and business impact.
- Lead end-to-end delivery of AI initiatives by driving solution development, deployment, operationalization, troubleshooting, continuous improvement, enterprise integrations, and collaboration with engineering teams to build scalable data pipelines and AI workflows.
- Partner with Product Managers, Engineering teams, and business stakeholders to define product capabilities, technical requirements, roadmaps, and best practices while providing technical leadership, influencing architectural decisions, and effectively communicating complex concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
Required Qualifications:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.
- 8+ years of experience in Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or software development.
- Demonstrated experience delivering production-grade AI or machine learning solutions.
- Strong experience with Generative AI, Large Language Models, and modern AI frameworks.
- Experience designing scalable enterprise applications and distributed systems.
- Proven track record of independently owning and delivering complex technical initiatives.
- Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Technical Skills:
- Advanced expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Generative AI, including Agentic AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Prompt Engineering, Statistical Modeling, Predictive Analytics, Quantitative Analysis, Data Mining, Data Analysis, and Applied AI solution development.
- Strong hands-on experience with modern AI and data science frameworks and tools, including LangChain, LangGraph, Azure OpenAI, NoSQL, Azure Machine Learning, TensorFlow, MLflow, LlamaFactory, Unsloth, Scikit-Learn, Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, SpaCy, GPT models, Embeddings, and Vector Search technologies.
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, API development, FastAPI, Flask, distributed systems, cloud-native application development, CI/CD practices, Git, Jupyter, and modern software engineering practices for production-grade AI solutions.
- Experience designing, developing, and deploying enterprise-scale solutions on Azure, Azure AI Services, Azure Machine Learning, Azure OpenAI, Cosmos DB/Dynamo DB, cloud-based AI platforms, and containerized environments.
- Strong understanding of data engineering and analytics, including data pipelines, data cleansing, wrangling, visualization, feature engineering, experiment design, model evaluation, data modelling, analytics, business insights, and AI performance measurement methodologies.
- Expertise in building scalable Conversational AI, Intelligent Agents, Multi-Agent Systems, Knowledge Retrieval platforms, AI orchestration frameworks, enterprise integrations, and production AI systems, including fine-tuning, reasoning, document understanding, summarization, classification, and question-answering solutions.
- Experience applying advanced machine learning techniques including classification, clustering, recommendation systems, forecasting, ensemble learning, hyperparameter tuning, feature selection, embedding-based modelling, similarity search, and model optimization.

Questions you could be asked
- How do you structure and test a prompt to get consistent output from a language model?
- How would you design a retrieval step so the model answers from real data instead of guessing?
- Walk me through fine-tuning a model: what data did you use, and how did you check the result?
- How do you decide that one model's output is better than another's for a given task?
- What NLP problem have you worked on, and how did you measure whether it actually worked?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: Prompt engineering, RAG, Fine-tuning, AI Evaluation, and NLP. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
