• Analyze large-scale legal datasets to extract insights and improve model performance.

• Establish best practices for model evaluation, validation, and benchmarking.

• Translate experimental results into clear product recommendations and business impact.

• Collaborate with product, legal experts, and engineers to align solutions with user needs.

• Mentor team members and provide technical leadership in data science and AI.

Requirements:

• Education: Master’s degree or above in a quantitative or technical field (Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science, etc.).

• Strong experience in machine learning, NLP, and LLM-based modeling.

• Strong experience designing and running experiments, including model evaluation and iteration.

• Strong coding skills.

• Experience with generative AI techniques (e.g., prompt engineering, RAG).

• Experience designing and evaluating hybrid search (semantic + lexical) using embeddings and vector databases.

• Experience designing agentic workflows and reasoning strategies, with hands-on experience applying agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen) in real-world use cases.

• Proficiency in Python and data analysis tools.

• Strong foundation in statistics, modeling, and large-scale text processing.
