Data Scientist LLM

The Data Scientist LLM at our fintech company is responsible for developing scalable Python code that supports our internal LLM-based products. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate ML models into production environments, build APIs that connect with large language models, and ensure compliance with data security regulations. Additionally, you will investigate new advancements in LLMs to enhance our product offerings.

To qualify for the Data Scientist LLM role, you should have a strong proficiency in Python, experience with large language models and generative AI, and familiarity with designing APIs. A solid understanding of production code development and best practices in software quality is also essential. If you possess additional skills like machine learning model development or knowledge of cloud services, it would be a bonus!

The Data Scientist LLM plays a crucial role in product development by designing innovative AI-driven solutions that enhance our fintech offerings. Your responsibility will include integrating machine learning models into our applications, building robust APIs, and constantly experimenting with LLM advancements to evolve our products, thereby directly impacting the user experience.

As a Data Scientist LLM, you should have strong proficiency in Python and be familiar with libraries and frameworks such as NumPy, Pandas, and FastAPI. It's also beneficial to have knowledge of machine learning frameworks like Pytorch or TensorFlow, as well as experience with JavaScript/TypeScript for front-end development, although the latter is not mandatory.

At our fintech company, the work culture is collaborative, innovative, and geared towards continuous learning. We encourage our Data Scientists LLM to think outside the box and explore new technologies that can enhance our services. You will have the autonomy to propose ideas and drive projects that align with our mission of transforming the financial sector.
