We are looking for an experienced practitioner who has built and deployed AI/ML solutions in production, can work closely with product and engineering teams, and can confidently communicate technical concepts and architecture decisions to customers and non-technical stakeholders. Experience in the energy domain is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models for complex business problems.
  • Apply traditional ML techniques including classification, regression, forecasting, anomaly detection, feature engineering, and model evaluation.
  • Build and productionize LLM and Generative AI solutions.
  • Develop Agentic AI workflows using technologies such as LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, tool calling, and agent orchestration.
  • Design and implement production-grade RAG solutions, including vector databases, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and knowledge graphs.
  • Work with AWS Bedrock or comparable enterprise GenAI cloud platforms.
  • Analyze large and complex datasets using Python, SQL, and modern data platforms.
  • Collaborate with product managers, engineers, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Communicate architecture decisions, model performance, trade-offs, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Support production deployment, monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement of AI/ML systems.
  • Mentor junior data scientists and contribute to technical best practices.

Required Skills

  • 5–7 years of relevant Data Science / Machine Learning experience.
  • Strong hands-on traditional ML/Data Science background.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills.
  • Experience with ML frameworks such as Scikit-learn, XGBoost, CatBoost, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
  • 12+ months of recent, continuous hands-on GenAI/LLM experience.
  • Proven production deployment of AI/ML or GenAI systems.
  • Hands-on Agentic AI production experience, including one or more of: LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, tool calling, agent orchestration.
  • Strong RAG implementation experience, including vector databases, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and knowledge graphs.
  • AWS Bedrock experience strongly preferred. Azure OpenAI or Google Vertex AI may be considered as alternate GenAI cloud experience.
  • Experience with big data technologies such as Spark/Hadoop.
  • Experience with Databricks and/or Snowflake is preferred.
  • Experience with LLMOps, evaluation, monitoring, or AI evaluation tooling is a plus.
  • Strong communication and client-facing/consulting skills.

Preferred Domain Experience

  • Energy / Utilities / Oil & Gas
