Responsibilities

  • Set AI and data science strategy across ML, NLP, search, recommendation, experimentation, and generative AI, aligning work to product goals, customer needs, and business priorities.
  • Lead and develop high-performing teams by coaching talent, setting priorities, fostering scientific rigor, and building an inclusive, collaborative culture.
  • Deliver advanced AI and knowledge-discovery systems across the full lifecycle, from experimentation through production, including LLMs, RAG, search, and domain-enriched AI solutions.
  • Drive evaluation and AI quality by establishing robust frameworks, metrics, experimentation practices, and responsible AI standards.
  • Influence across product, technology, and business by partnering with cross-functional leaders, shaping roadmaps, translating technical insights, and aligning teams on customer and business impact.

Requirements

  • Strong technical expertise across modern data science methods, including machine learning, experimentation, deep learning, generative AI, and production AI systems.
  • Hands-on experience delivering AI-powered products, including LLMs, RAG, semantic search, embeddings, agentic workflows, and knowledge-driven systems.
  • Proven success leading and developing technical teams in complex product, platform, or research environments.
  • Experience working with large, complex datasets and building scalable, maintainable, production-ready AI/ML systems.
  • Strong people leadership, prioritization, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to turn ambiguity into clear strategy and measurable outcomes.
