Applied Data Scientist Expert

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in applied Data Science and AI engineering with significant hands-on work building LLM-based applications or AI agents.
  
• Deep practical experience with LLMs (prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model selection, and understanding trade-offs across providers and model families).
• Hands-on experience building Autonomous Agent architectures (e.g., LangGraph, multi-agent workflows, tool-calling, and state machines) and implementing rigorous evaluation frameworks (Evals, LLM-as-a-judge, benchmark suites).
• Knowledge of programming languages that are used in AI research, such as Python, and experience with AI frameworks (e.g., Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) with the ability to deliver production-ready code.
• An M.S. or Ph.D. degree in computer science, statistics, or related field OR equivalent work experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in cybersecurity (cloud security, threat detection, investigation, or network telemetry).
• Experience with distributed cloud systems and hands-on familiarity with cloud-native architectures at scale.
• Strong knowledge of deep learning models and common model architecture such as transformer models.
• Excellent communication (both written and verbal) and presentation skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and come up with creative solutions to challenging problems.
