Who We Want
The Data Scientist II will work closely with Data Science Product and Engineering to build and improve ML and AI systems that drive operational value. This role is a great fit for a hands-on practitioner with applied experience in NLP and LLM-based systems who is ready to take on meaningful technical ownership. Youll contribute to the full lifecycle of production ML systems from evaluation and measurement through development deployment and iteration with a particular focus on text and language-based applications. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces can translate loosely defined business needs into concrete technical approaches and communicates findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
What Youll Do
Develop evaluate and iterate on NLP and LLM-based systems including text classification information extraction and context retrieval pipelines.
Build measurement and evaluation frameworks both offline and online to assess where and why systems are underperforming and quantify the impact of improvements.
Develop golden test datasets and define methodologies for creating and maintaining them over time including designing annotation guidelines and ensuring label quality.
Evaluate and apply the appropriate approach for language tasks whether prompt engineering fine-tuning or classical NLP methods including modern retrieval and RAG architectures and LLM evaluation methodologies based on the problem and available data.
Perform structured analysis of system performance to surface failure modes data gaps and high-value areas for investment applying sound statistical reasoning to evaluation results.
Partner with engineers to support deployment integration and monitoring of ML and AI systems in production.
Contribute to standards and best practices around deploying evaluating and monitoring text and language-based ML systems.
Document work clearly and maintain knowledge artifacts that make systems understandable and maintainable over time.

Hands-on experience building or improving NLP or LLM-based systems in applied settings.
Familiarity with text classification information extraction or other NLP tasks and an understanding of where these systems fail.
Experience with both prompt engineering and fine-tuning approaches for language tasks with the judgment to know when to apply each.
Familiarity with modern retrieval strategies and RAG architectures and how they affect LLM system performance.
Experience with Hugging Face Transformers for text classification or related NLP tasks.
Experience contributing to evaluation frameworks test sets or performance diagnostics for ML systems including comfort with statistical methods for measuring model performance.
Proficiency in Python and SQL and comfort working with structured and unstructured data.
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces scoping technical approaches when requirements are not fully defined.
Strong written communication skills; able to document systems and findings clearly and present recommendations to non-technical stakeholders.
Experience designing data annotation workflows labeling guidelines or label quality processes is a plus.
