  • 3+ years of professional experience as a Data Scientist.

  • Prior experience building enterprise AI or data platforms is highly desirable.

  • Strong understanding of NLP, Transformers, LLMs, and Generative AI.

  • Hands-on experience working with OpenAI GPT models and multimodal LLMs.

  • Experience building end-to-end machine learning pipelines using Python.

  • Knowledge of knowledge graphs, ontologies, semantic modeling, or graph-based data solutions.

  • Experience using Git and modern software development practices.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Background

  • Experience supporting Defense or Public Sector programs.

  • Experience working with data across classified environments.
