ML/AI Data Scientist
Role Summary
Build the matching, inference, and labeling models that resolve entities into golden records and bring Gemini-assisted intelligence into the ontology.
Key Responsibilities
• Own entity matching and bridging: design and build fuzzy and exact matching models to stitch duplicate entities into golden records.
• Build inference models to support data profiling — identifying patterns, relationships, and anomalies in profiled source data.
• Support the business-ontology effort with Gemini-assisted labeling models that classify records into business domains (Location, Asset, Service, Event, Work-ticket).
• Design and build labeling workflows combining weak supervision, LLM-assisted labeling, and human-in-the-loop review.
• Deploy and manage matching, inference, and labeling models on Vertex AI.
• Evaluate model performance (precision/recall, drift) and work with the Architect and Data Domain SME to validate outputs against ontology rules.
• Partner with the Backend/Agent Engineer to expose matching/labeling models as callable tools within the agent orchestration layer.
• Continuously retrain and tune models as new source data and golden-record feedback become available.
• Document model logic, training data lineage, and known limitations for each deployed model.
• Support QA in defining acceptance thresholds for model-driven outputs (matching accuracy, labeling precision).
Core Skills
• Entity resolution / matching: fuzzy and exact matching techniques for golden-record creation.
• Inference and pattern-detection modeling over profiled data.
• LLM-assisted labeling and classification (Gemini) with human-in-the-loop review design.
• Model deployment, evaluation, and drift monitoring on Vertex AI.
• Weak supervision and semi-supervised labeling workflow design.
Required Qualifications
• 5+ years in applied ML, including entity resolution, classification, or NLP-based matching.
• Strong Python; experience with PyTorch and/or scikit-learn.
• Hands-on experience deploying and evaluating models on Vertex AI.
• Experience with embeddings, LLMs, or NLP techniques for matching and classification.
• Experience designing labeling workflows (weak supervision, LLM-assisted, human-in-the-loop).
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with knowledge graphs or ontology-aligned ML (feature use over graph data).
• MLOps experience (model versioning, monitoring, retraining pipelines).
• GCP ML Engineer certification.
Tools & Technologies
Vertex AI, Gemini APIs, Python, PyTorch, scikit-learn, BigQuery, Spanner Graph or equivalent graph platform (for feature/context retrieval)
