Job Description

Job Title: Data Scientist

Location: Atlanta, GA (Remote)
Job Type: Long-Term Contract

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Data Scientist with strong expertise in data science fundamentals, machine learning (ML), and large language models (LLMs). The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience working with Databricks and Azure ecosystems, including PySpark for data processing and LLM tuning within Databricks. This role involves building and optimizing data science solutions that leverage cloud-based technologies to deliver business value.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy data science and ML solutions on Databricks (Azure environment).
• Work on end-to-end ML lifecycle, from data preparation and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and deployment.
• Apply LLM fine-tuning and optimization techniques within Databricks for domain-specific use cases.
• Utilize PySpark for distributed data processing, cleaning, and transformation.
• Collaborate with data engineers, cloud architects, and business stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of ML models into production workflows.
• Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA), statistical modeling, and hypothesis testing to extract insights from structured and unstructured data.
• Stay updated on the latest advancements in AI/ML, LLMs, and Databricks capabilities to bring innovative solutions.
• Document methodologies, experiments, and best practices for knowledge sharing.
