Senior Data Scientist

Role: Senior Data Scientist (Gen AI specialization)
Location: Bangalore, Hybrid (5 days working and 3 days work from office)
Experience: 6+ Years (with 1+ years in GenAI applications)
Role Brief:
We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist (GenAI specialization) who will architect and deploy production-grade GenAI systems that enable natural language querying across our vast document ecosystem. This isn't about API integrations - you'll work from first principles to solve real retrieval challenges at enterprise scale.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Build and implement enterprise-level GenAI chatbots capable of natural-language search over extensive document repositories and databases.

- Research and develop multi-agentic systems for production-grade applications that handle large-scale documents and big data
- Optimize vector databases for enterprise-scale semantic search, context management, chat history, and source attribution
- Build document processing pipelines with intelligent chunking, metadata extraction, and multi-format handling
- Implement advanced retrieval strategies: hybrid search, re-ranking, and custom evaluation frameworks
- Work in AWS cloud platform for deployment - handle concurrent requests and scale
- Integrate and optimize LLMs via AWS Bedrock, or Azure with hallucination mitigation
- Debug and resolve retrieval quality issues, latency bottlenecks, and cost optimization challenges
- Opportunity to mentor and shape GenAI practices across the organization
- Individual Contributor reporting to Engineering Manager
Skills Required:
- Building GenAI applications from scratch including custom chunking strategies, metadata extraction, multi-format document processing pipelines, indexing, context management, memory management, fine-tuning techniques, model compression techniques, etc. (Must be able to demonstrate through technical justification and code)
- Vector database production implementation: indexing, retrieval optimization, performance tuning
- Embeddings and semantic search: sentence-transformers, similarity search, distance metrics implementation
- Advanced retrieval techniques: hybrid search (semantic + keyword), multi-stage retrieval
- Production LLM integration / hosting: context management, token optimization, streaming responses, citation systems
- Evaluation & metrics for RAG systems & chatbots
- Knowledge of deployment, monitoring, ethics, and governance principles; RESTful API development with FastAPI including error handling
Soft Skills:
- Mentorship abilities - Comfortable teaching GenAI concepts to team members at varying skill levels
- Communication skills - Can explain complex architecture and AI applications behavior to non-technical stakeholders
- Problem-solving mindset - Ability to debug retrieval issues, optimize performance, and handle edge cases
- Self-driven - Can independently research solutions and make architectural decisions
- Collaborative - Works effectively with MLOps, data engineers, and product teams
- Pragmatic approach - Balances innovation with production reliability and business constraints.
