Are you an expert in Natural Language Processing who thrives on building scalable, real-world AI solutions? We are seeking a hands-on Data Scientist to join a premier global credit ratings and financial information firm. You will be a key player in launching a brand-new, from-scratch analytics platform designed for elite institutional clients including corporate banks and asset managers.

• Pipeline Development: Develop and maintain robust ML and data pipelines for experimentation and deployment.
• Insight Extraction: Prototype and test new approaches for extracting insights from structured and unstructured data.
• Technical Translation: Explain ML/NLP model outputs and methodologies to non-technical stakeholders to drive strategic decisions.

• Core Technicals: High expertise in Python and Machine Learning (ML).
• NLP Expertise: 3-5 years of experience in Natural Language Processing.
• AI Knowledge: Familiarity with Lang Chain and Llama Index
  . The role involves using Large Language Models (LLMs) to build data models rather than building LLMs from scratch.
• Deployment: Must understand the deployment process and CI/CD practices to troubleshoot, though a dedicated engineering team handles the heavy lifting.
