About The Role

As a Lead Data Scientist, you will drive the architecture, design, and delivery of GenAI solutions, focusing on LLM and vLLM fine-tuning, data strategy, and model performance. This is a strategic, leadership-oriented role requiring a deep technical foundation and strong stakeholder collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead design and implementation of LLM-powered GenAI platforms and document intelligence products.
  • Architect and own data pipelines for fine-tuning large language models using large-scale datasets.
  • Guide and mentor data science teams on LLM training best practices, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Optimize model inference (latency, throughput) using vLLM, quantization, or model distillation techniques.
  • Own the model lifecycle — from experimentation to production-grade deployment.
  • Partner with engineering/product teams to translate business needs into scalable AI solutions.

Required Skills

  • 7+ years in data science, with 3+ years focused on NLP and LLMs.
  • Proven expertise in fine-tuning large-scale models on enterprise or open datasets.
  • Hands-on with vLLM, PEFT (Parameter Efficient Fine Tuning), LoRA, and quantization strategies.
  • Experience optimizing inference pipelines for production environments.
  • Strong coding background in Python, PyTorch, and scalable ML architectures.
  • Deep understanding of model alignment, evaluation strategies, and generative QA tasks.

Leadership Skills

  • Ability to lead cross-functional teams across data science, MLOps, and software engineering.
  • Experience mentoring junior team members and reviewing model design/code.
  • Strong communication skills to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders.
