Job Description


 Role Overview 
We are looking for a Senior/Lead ML Data Scientist with strong expertise in the Databricks ML ecosystem and proven experience in Generative AI and LLM fine-tuning. This role will drive end-to-end ML/AI initiatives — from presales solution shaping, customer workshops, and PoCs to large-scale delivery, deployment, and adoption. The candidate will define AI/ML strategy, ensure successful execution, and mentor teams while driving responsible and business-aligned AI delivery. Key Responsibilities 
 ML & AI Solutioning 
  • Lead the design and development of machine learning models (classification, regression, clustering, NLP, CV).
  • Implement ML workflows in Databricks using MLflow, Feature Store, AutoML, and Databricks notebooks.
  • Optimize and scale training using distributed ML frameworks (Spark MLlib, Horovod, Databricks Runtime for ML).

  •  Presales & Client Engagement 
  • Partner with sales and consulting teams to support presales activities, including solution design, RFP responses, and client presentations.
  • Conduct workshops, PoCs, and live demos showcasing Databricks ML and GenAI capabilities.
  • Translate complex ML/AI solutions into business value for CXOs and client stakeholders.
  • Create thought leadership material (whitepapers, PoVs, reference architectures) to drive market presence.

  •  Delivery & Execution 
  • Own the end-to-end execution of ML/GenAI projects — from requirements gathering to production deployment.
  • Ensure scalable, secure, and cost-optimized delivery on Databricks and cloud ML platforms.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (data engineering, application engineering, cloud infra) to deliver high-quality outcomes.
  • Establish success metrics, monitor delivery performance, and ensure client satisfaction.

  •  GenAI / LLM Workloads 
  • Fine-tune and optimize LLMs (OpenAI, Llama, Falcon, MPT, HuggingFace Transformers) for domain-specific use cases.
  • Implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines for enterprise search, chatbots, and knowledge assistants.
  • Evaluate, deploy, and monitor custom fine-tuned models within Databricks Model Serving or cloud ML platforms.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate GenAI capabilities into business applications.

  •  MLOps & Governance 
  • Establish MLOps best practices with Databricks MLflow (experiment tracking, model registry, deployment pipelines).
  • Implement automated CI/CD for ML pipelines with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins.
  • Define and enforce Responsible AI practicesfairness, explainability (SHAP, LIME), bias detection, compliance.

  •  Leadership & Collaboration 
  • Mentor and guide junior data scientists and engineers.
  • Partner with business leaders to identify AI opportunities and define strategy.
  • Advocate for data-driven decision making across the organization.
