Sr. Data Scientist profiles with Gen AI exp. Azure Cloud and Snowflake
Experience within the Azure ecosystem (including Azure AI Search, Azure Storage Blob, Azure Postgres, and Azure SQL) with expertise in leveraging these tools for data processing, storage, AI models, and analytics tasks.
Experience within the Snowflake ecosystem (including Snowflake data warehouse, Snowpark, Snowflake Notebooks, and Streamlit) with expertise in leveraging these tools to create data and AI pipelines.
Knowledge of cloud computing principles and experience in deploying, scaling, and monitoring AI solutions on cloud platforms like Azure.
Knowledge of cloud cost management principles and best practices to optimize cloud resource usage and minimize costs.
Data Science and AI Development
A solid foundation in Python programming is essential, along with familiarity with popular AI libraries/frameworks such as Langchain, TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, and spaCy.
Demonstrated proficiency in developing AI solutions using Azure services, including Azure AI Search, Azure OpenAI APIs, and Azure SQL Database.
In-depth knowledge of search algorithms, indexing techniques, and retrieval models for effective information retrieval tasks. Familiarity with search platforms like Elasticsearch or Azure AI Search is highly advantageous.
Hands-on experience with RAG architecture and its application in natural language processing tasks is a must.
Ability to proficiently manipulate data, perform complex queries, and conduct data transformations using Microsoft SQL Server.
A solid understanding of machine learning and deep learning techniques, particularly those relevant to natural language processing tasks such as text extraction, text classification, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and summarization.
Ability to preprocess and clean large datasets efficiently using SQL/Python and other data manipulation tools. Experience with techniques such as data normalization, feature engineering, and data augmentation is preferred.
Required : Familiarity with open-source AI Agentic frameworks (Crew.ai, Agno, Microsoft Auto-Gen, browser-use)
Basic familiarity with (but not proficiency in) alternative AI programming languages (Julia, Haskell, R, Scala, C++)
Demonstrated experience in productionalizing AI models that have been developed including end-to-end deployment and integration into business systems. Delivers AI models to the last mile. Does not have a "code it and let someone else deploy it” mentality.
Demonstrated experience in integrating AI models into business systems such as Salesforce, PowerBI, etc.
