About This Role
As a Senior Applied Scientist, you will solve large complex real-world problems at scale, draw inspiration from the latest science and technology to empower undefined/untapped business use cases, delve into customer requirements, collaborate with tech and product teams on design, and create production-ready models that span various domains, including Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Reinforcement Learning (RL), real-time and distributed systems.
About You
Your work will focus on inventing and extending scientific approaches, models, and algorithms driven by customer needs at the product level, framing new research problems even when the problem is ill-defined and no textbook solution exists. You will lead the design, implementation, and delivery of scientifically complex, end-to-end solutions that are deployed into production, defining system-level requirements and writing a significant portion of the critical-path code. You will develop reusable science components and services that resolve architecture deficiencies and customers’ pain points, while making technical trade-offs for long-term/short-term. You will work independently with limited guidance, and your decision-making will consistently incorporate robust, data-driven business and technical judgment. You will drive your team’s scientific agenda, author internal or external peer-reviewed publications that validate the novelty of your work, mentor and develop other scientists, and build consensus across multiple teams. You will have the opportunity to innovate, invent, and think big, and influence the experiences of millions of customers. We are looking for a results-oriented Senior Applied Scientist with deep expertise in ML, NLP, Deep Learning, GenAI, and/or large-scale distributed computation.
