Role Overview

We are seeking a visionary and highly skilled Senior Data Scientist to lead the development of a cutting-edge document intelligence and discovery platform. This unique role sits at the intersection of advanced Generative AI, Machine Learning, and Cheminformatics. Your primary mission will be to solve a highly complex unstructured data challenge: transforming scanned PDF documents containing intricate chemical structures into highly searchable, interpretable, and actionable knowledge bases.

• Architect Document Intelligence Solutions: Design and implement advanced Machine Learning and Deep Learning models to parse, extract, and interpret text and complex chemical structures from unstructured, scanned PDF documents
• Develop LLM & Retrieval Systems: Build and optimize Large Language Model (LLM) applications, leveraging vector databases to enable semantic search, advanced data interpretation, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
• End-to-End ML Pipelines: Own the entire machine learning lifecycle, including data preprocessing (specifically for chemical data and OCR outputs), model training, evaluation, deployment, and post-deployment monitoring
• Bridge Chemistry & AI: Apply your chemistry domain knowledge to translate molecular structures, diagrams, and chemical data into machine-readable formats, embeddings, and actionable insights
• Cloud Architecture & Deployment: Deploy scalable, secure, and production-ready AI/ML pipelines within the AWS ecosystem, ensuring high availability and performance
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with software engineers, data engineers, and domain experts to integrate ML models into the core product architecture and align with business goals
  
  

Requirements

• Professional Experience: 5+ years of proven experience working as a Data Scientist, with a track record of delivering production-grade machine learning models
• Domain Expertise: A strong background in Chemistry, Cheminformatics, or a highly related scientific field, with a demonstrated ability to interpret and manipulate complex chemical structures and data types
• Core Technical Stack: Advanced proficiency in Python and deep hands-on experience with the AWS cloud stack (e.g., SageMaker, Lambda, S3, EC2)
• Generative AI & Search: Practical, hands-on experience working with LLMs (fine-tuning, prompt engineering, or API integration) and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, or Qdrant)
• ML/DL Mastery: Robust experience in model development, validation, deployment, and evaluation framework tools (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn)
• Document Processing (Plus): Prior experience with Computer Vision, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), or Document AI systems is highly desirable given the scanned PDF focus
• Soft Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills, excellent communication, and the ability to thrive in a highly collaborative, cross-disciplinary project environment
