Data Scientist

Analyzes large-scale datasets from AI model evaluations to uncover patterns, biases, and causal relationships. Designs experiments, builds pipelines with Python/Pandas/Spark, and collaborates with ML teams on metrics and insights. Requires 6+ years in data science/ML analytics.

About the job

Responsibilities

  • Explore and analyze large, complex datasets to uncover patterns, biases, and causal relationships in model behavior and system performance.
  • Formulate hypotheses about data quality, evaluation outcomes, and model performance — then design experiments to validate or refute them.
  • Build reproducible analysis pipelines using Python, Pandas, NumPy, and Spark to process and interrogate large-scale data.
  • Partner with ML researchers and engineers to design metrics and analyses that evaluate how models perform across domains, prompts, and tasks.
  • Develop causal reasoning frameworks and statistical methods that help explain why models behave as they do — not just how well they perform.
  • Communicate insights (for example, via blog posts) clearly to technical and non-technical partners, informing both research direction and infrastructure improvements.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in data science, ML analytics, or applied research, preferably in AI, ML, or large-scale data environments.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, with deep experience in Pandas, NumPy, and distributed frameworks like Spark.
  • Expertise in statistical modeling, causal inference, and experimental design.
  • Experience reasoning about data distributions, sample quality, and the effects of data distribution shifts.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate closely with ML researchers and engineers.

Nice-to-haves

  • Background in AI model evaluation.
  • Experience working with LLM outputs (for example, LLM-as-a-judge), embeddings, or other large-scale model artifacts.
  • Experience with A/B testing.
