Job Description

We are seeking a Lead Data Scientist to join our team, bringing advanced technical expertise in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Decision Support Systems. In this role, you will play a crucial part in driving technical excellence across projects, serving as a trusted advisor to the Area Manager and providing support to the existing team lead. While your focus will not be on managing the team directly, you will act as a technical guide, mentoring junior team members and serving as the Tech Lead on select high-impact projects.

We will rely on you to

• Design, implement, and optimize Machine Learning (ML) models, Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, and Decision Support algorithms, including supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning, and deep learning techniques.

• Experiment with and apply cutting-edge methodologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI, and multi-agent systems to deliver innovative solutions.

• Act as a Tech Lead for complex projects, ensuring technical rigor and driving excellence in implementation.

• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior Data Scientists and AI Engineers, fostering their growth and development in collaboration with the current team lead.

• Work closely with the Area Manager, project leads, and other stakeholders to align technical deliverables with strategic goals.

• Stay at the forefront of AI advancements, proactively identifying opportunities to integrate new techniques and approaches into projects.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related field. A Ph.D. is a plus.

• Proven track record in developing and deploying ML/AI models in production environments.

• Broad expertise in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques, including supervised learning (e.g., regression, classification), unsupervised learning (e.g., clustering, dimensionality reduction), reinforcement learning, deep learning, and ensemble methods.

• Practical experience with advanced decision-support systems, optimization techniques, and real-time predictive modeling.

• Familiarity with cutting-edge technologies, including Generative AI, Large Language Models, and multi-agent systems, while maintaining a strong foundation in classical ML/AI approaches.

• Proficiency in Python or R, and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.

• Strong understanding of model evaluation, feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and interpretability techniques.

• Experience with probabilistic models, graph-based algorithms, and time-series forecasting is a plus.

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), data pipelines, and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

We Particularly Value

• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with the team lead, support the Area Manager, and mentor team members.

• A well-rounded understanding of ML/AI, with the ability to apply the right techniques for different challenges, from foundational algorithms to cutting-edge innovations.

• The ability to seamlessly adapt to different roles as needed—whether guiding team members, supporting the Area Manager, or leading technical efforts.

• A strong curiosity for exploring emerging technologies and algorithms, with a focus on delivering impactful solutions.

• A team-oriented mindset that emphasizes mutual respect, knowledge sharing, and joint problem-solving.
