Job Description

Only accepting local Seattle, WA candidates

We are seeking an Applied Scientist / Data Scientist with strong expertise in Generative AI, LLMs, RAG architectures, and AWS Bedrock to build next‑generation AI capabilities for enterprise‑scale use cases. This role focuses primarily on applied AI/LLM system development, while also leveraging traditional data science and machine learning skills to support broader modeling and analytics needs.

This position requires 5 days/week on‑site in Seattle, WA and the ability to interview in person on short notice.

⭐ What You’ll Do (Applied Scientist Focus)

  • Design, build, and deploy enterprise-grade LLM applications using modern foundation models.
  • Develop RAG pipelines, vector-based retrieval, and contextual knowledge bases.
  • Engineer agentic AI workflows, multi-step reasoning chains, and autonomous decision systems.
  • Perform prompt engineering, optimization, evaluation, and guardrail construction.
  • Identify and mitigate hallucinations, design safety layers, and tune system reliability.
  • Build scalable, production-ready GenAI solutions leveraging AWS Bedrock and related services.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to bring GenAI prototypes into full production.

🔍 Data Scientist Responsibilities (Secondary but Required)

  • Apply traditional ML techniques (classification, regression, clustering, etc.) when GenAI is not the right fit.
  • Conduct data exploration, feature engineering, and statistical analysis to support use‑case discovery.
  • Build, tune, and validate predictive models using established ML frameworks.
  • Analyze system performance, model outputs, and user interaction patterns.
  • Translate data insights into actionable recommendations for leadership and clients.
  • Support experimentation, A/B testing, and model performance measurement.

These responsibilities ensure a well-rounded individual capable of bridging both emerging GenAI technologies and core data science fundamentals.

✔️ What You Bring

Technical Expertise:

  • Strong background in Applied Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, or AI Engineering.
  • Hands‑on experience with:
  • LLMs (enterprise-grade)
  • AWS Bedrock
  • RAG architectures
  • Prompt engineering
  • Agentic AI workflows
  • Solid grounding in traditional ML (Python, scikit‑learn, data wrangling, evaluation metrics).
  • Experience building scalable AI systems and integrating them into real-world workflows.

Communication Skills:

  • Ability to explain complex AI concepts clearly to executives, engineers, and non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Strong presentation and client‑facing communication skills.

🎯 Why This Role Is Unique

  • You’ll work at the intersection of research-level innovation and real enterprise deployment.
  • Build solutions that go beyond prototypes into production AI systems that matter.
  • High executive visibility and the chance to influence AI strategy.
  • Opportunity to work across both GenAI and traditional ML, giving variety and depth to your work.

🧪 Interview Process

  • Short introductory conversation
  • 60-minute technical interview (LLMs, RAG, GenAI reasoning, and ML fundamentals)
  • Client virtual interview, followed by an in‑person meeting for finalists

🌟 If you’re an Applied Scientist with strong Data Science fundamentals and a passion for building real GenAI solutions, this is an opportunity to help shape the next wave of enterprise AI.
