Overview

As an AI Data Scientist, you will leverage cutting-edge LLM-first approaches to drive exploratory data analysis and rapid semantic clustering. Your expertise will be crucial in scaling prompt-based prototypes into cost-effective embedding and vector pipelines, ensuring both efficiency and accuracy. You will be responsible for driving taxonomy mapping and functional decomposition automation, transforming complex business process data into actionable insights. This role involves designing and executing evaluation experiments, with a deep understanding of prompt evaluation and automated tuning using LLM-as-a-judge frameworks. You will possess mastery of the Python ecosystem, statistical evaluation, and expertise in embeddings tuning, K-means, and graph clustering, contributing to continuous evaluation pipelines like RAGAS or TurLens. Your ability to extract meaningful patterns from terabytes of messy, undocumented legacy system logs and ticket data will be key to mapping operational workflows.
