Data ScienceApplied Research Scientist

We are an innovative AI startup focused on transforming professional services through cutting-edge Generative AI and deep domain expertise. Our agent-driven solutions automate complex workflows, engaging humans only when needed to maximize efficiency and accuracy. Join us at the forefront of AI innovation, where your expertise will directly shape the future of professional services.

About the Role

~1 min read

We are looking for an experienced researcher with a passion for Generative AI and hands-on expertise in cloud development. As an Applied Research Scientist, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of scalable GenAI applications that redefine how professional services are delivered. You will work in small teams to own delivery of high-stakes projects with clients, much like a hands-on AI startup CTO. A day’s work may include building LLM workflows on a large scale, interacting with customers to understand their needs and set their AI strategy, but the most impact will be driven by implementing solutions into the real world of our partner's organizations. Your work will contribute to extending our existing footprint and strategy into new markets and problem spaces opened by Gen AI.

Proven track record of achieving significant results demonstrated in grants, fellowships, patents and publications in top-tier AI conferences (AAAI, ICLR, Neurips); NLP venues (ACL, EMNLP); or computer vision venues (CVPR, ICCV).
