Senior Data Scientist, Brightflag

• As an ambitious and talented Senior Data Scientist joining our growing team, you will have previous experience of deploying machine learning solutions to solve complex business problems, ideally within a SAAS product focused environment
• 5+ Years developing and deploying machine learning models and solutions, ideally in a software product focused environment
• Strong programming skills in Python
• Strong skills in NLP, foundational representations like TFIDF matrices and topic modelling as well familiarity with Word2vec, Transformers etc... Experience working with text embeddings for data extraction, classification etc.
• Some familiarity with generative ai text based applications and frameworks, in particular applying generative ai models to product application development. Knowledge of frameworks such as langchain or llamaindex may be useful but not essential. Similarly familiarity with patterns like RAG would be beneficial but not essential
• Application of classification techniques to multiclass and multi label classification
• Familiarity with base Python stack such as Numpy,SciPy, Sklearn and experience developing Neural Network models in Keras/Tensorflow/PyTorch
• Application of regression techniques to predict continuous outcomes. Some familiarity with Time Series forecasting is also a plus
• Clustering and segmentation analysis is also beneficial, familiarity with core algorithms like KMeans, DbScan etc.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity in a fast-paced product environment
• A passion for building product-focused solutions that solve customer problems
• A track record of shipping product by working collaboratively with product and software engineering teams
• Ability to work autonomously

Desirable

• You will be adept working through the full development pipeline from exploratory analysis to deployment, and comfortable working in a start-up like environment, where agility and resourcefulness are essential
• You will have the opportunity to work in a culture that values autonomy and encourages novel and creative solutions to problems - not just the same old model development process
• You are a team player working within the data science team and in collaboration with the product and engineering teams to develop innovative analytical solutions
• You’ll ship a product that delivers the best value for our customers in line with a clear company strategy with data science innovation as a core pillar of the product
• You will be focused on external and internal facing Data Science projects - product facing features to provide insight, value & automation for our customers and models that make our internal processes more efficient and robust
• You will work in classical machine learning tasks (classification, regression) as well as innovative Generative Ai applications
• Own the full model development process from initial exploratory analysis and proof of concept through to deployment in production
• Develop classification, regression and clustering models as appropriate to solve business problems
• Apply generative models to generate text, reports and insights as part of exciting new product features
• Analyse natural language text to uncover insights and transform data
• Develop proof of concepts to business problems including research of novel machine learning techniques and libraries to solve business problems
• Deploy models in our cloud infrastructure and design and implement MlOps pipelines
• Deploy models to production in the Brightflag app, working with engineering and product teams
