Interesting Job Opportunity: Data Scientist I - NLP/Machine Learning

Description

We are looking for a Data Scientist with strong fundamentals in NLP and machine learning to help build custom AI solutions for real-world talent intelligence problems.

You will work across the stack from data exploration and model development to evaluation and deployment - with a focus on building robust, scalable systems using state-of-the-art techniques.

Responsibilities

• Develop and fine-tune models for NER, text classification, semantic similarity, and clustering
• Work with pretrained embeddings, transformers, and LLMs to extract and normalize structured data from messy text
• Design and run experiments to evaluate model performance and guide improvements
• Collaborate with product and engineering to turn models into robust, production-ready solutions
• Continuously explore research and open-source tools to improve performance and scalability

• Hands-on experience in applied NLP and ML
• Strong coding skills in Python, and experience with Pandas, Scikit-learn, PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Familiarity with modern NLP toolkits : Spacy, HuggingFace Transformers, SBERT, etc.
• Solid understanding of embedding models, attention mechanisms, and evaluation metrics
• Ability to break down abstract problems and build custom, data-driven to Have :
• Experience with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or metadata generation using LLMs
• Exposure to knowledge graphs, taxonomy design, or vector databases
• Contributions to open-source NLP tools or research (ref:hirist.tech)
