About the Role:

We are looking for a highly experienced and driven Senior Data Scientist to join our advanced AI and Data Science team. You will play a key role in building and deploying machine learning models—especially in the areas of computer vision, document image processing, and large language models (LLMs). This role requires a combination of hands-on technical skills and the ability to design scalable ML solutions that solve real-world business problems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop end-to-end machine learning pipelines, from data preprocessing and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and deployment.
• Lead complex ML projects using deep learning, computer vision, and document analysis methods (e.g., object detection, image classification, segmentation, layout analysis).
• Build solutions for document image processing using tools like Google Cloud Vision, AWS Textract, and OCR libraries.
• Apply LLMs (Large Language Models), both open-source (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral, Falcon, GPT-NeoX) and closed-source (e.g., OpenAI GPT, Claude, Gemini), to automate text understanding, extraction, summarization, classification, and question-answering tasks.
• Integrate LLMs into applications for intelligent document processing, NER, semantic search, embeddings, and chat-based interfaces.
• Use Python (along with libraries such as OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers) and for building scalable, multi-threaded data processing pipelines.
• Implement and maintain ML Ops practices using tools such as MLflow, AWS SageMaker, GCP AI Platform, and containerized deployments.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to embed ML models into scalable production systems.
• Stay up to date with emerging research and best practices in machine learning, LLMs, and document AI.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in machine learning, data science, or AI engineering roles.
• Strong background in deep learning, computer vision, and document image processing.
• Practical experience with LLMs (open and closed source), including fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and inference optimization.
• Solid grasp of MLOps, model versioning, and model lifecycle management.
• Expertise in Python, with strong knowledge of ML and CV libraries. Experience with Java and multi-threading is a plus.
• Familiarity with NLP tasks including Named Entity Recognition, classification, embeddings, and text summarization.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) and their ML toolkits

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, and LLM evaluation tools.
• Exposure to CI/CD for ML workflows and best practices in production ML.
• Ability to mentor junior team members and lead cross-functional AI projects.
