Lead Data Scientist

As a Lead Data Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in leading the development and deployment of advanced machine learning models and generative AI solutions for our clients. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing data science projects from inception to deployment, using state-of-the-art cloud-native technologies on AWS and GCP. This role requires a strong focus on MLOps, ensuring efficient model lifecycle management and integration into business processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and Manage Data Science Projects: Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of data science projects, from data preprocessing, model development, model deployment and monitoring on the cloud

• Develop Machine Learning Models: Design, build, and deploy complex machine learning models and generative AI solutions that address client-specific business challenges.

• Implement MLOps Practices: Establish robust MLOps pipelines and frameworks to automate, monitor, and optimize model deployment, retraining, and scalability using cloud-native tools and platforms.

• Collaborate with Cross-functional Teams: Work closely with data engineers, software developers, and domain experts to ensure seamless integration of data science solutions within the client’s ecosystem.

• Client Engagement: Act as a subject matter expert in client meetings, presentations, and workshops, providing insights and recommendations on machine learning and AI strategies.

• Stay Current with Industry Trends: Continuously monitor advancements in machine learning, generative AI, and cloud technologies, incorporating relevant innovations into projects.

• Mentor and Develop Talent: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior data scientists and team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

Requirements

Technical Expertise:

• Proven experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-Learn) and generative AI models (e.g., GPT, DALL-E, diffusion models).

• Strong proficiency in Python and relevant data science libraries (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, SciPy).

• Experience with ML frameworks on the cloud:
GCP: Vertex AI, Vertex AI pipelines

AWS: SageMaker, Sagemaker Studio

• Demonstrated expertise in deploying and maintaining machine learning models in production environments.

• MLOps Knowledge: Deep understanding of the machine learning lifecycle, including model versioning, monitoring, retraining, and CI/CD for machine learning workflows.

• Data Engineering Skills: Familiarity with data engineering concepts, such as ETL pipelines, data warehousing, and data lakes.

• Analytical Thinking: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work on complex and ambiguous problems.

• Communication Skills: Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

• Leadership: Proven experience leading data science teams and projects in a fast-paced consulting or client-facing environment.

Qualifications:

• Experience: Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in data science, with a strong focus on machine learning, generative AI, and MLOps.

• Education: Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field.
