Job Summary:

We are seeking an accomplished and forward-thinking Data Science Manager with expertise in Generative AI to lead our Data Science team. In this role, you will drive the strategy, development, and deployment of enterprise-grade GenAI solutions, including LLM-based applications, RAG pipelines, and model fine-tuning. You will guide a team of data scientists and engineers while collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver impactful AI products that transform business processes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and mentor a team of data scientists in designing, building, and deploying Generative AI solutions across domains such as customer service, document automation, summarization, and knowledge retrieval.
  • Define the roadmap and strategy for GenAI adoption, ensuring alignment with business goals.
  • Oversee the fine-tuning and adaptation of foundation models with domain-specific data.
  • Drive the design and implementation of scalable RAG pipelines, embedding models, and vector database integrations (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, ChromaDB).
  • Establish best practices for prompt engineering, model evaluation, and bias mitigation.
  • Partner with product, engineering, and MLOps teams to deliver end-to-end AI workflows and deploy them via APIs or applications.
  • Stay ahead of emerging trends in LLMs, transformers, and GenAI, ensuring continuous innovation and competitive advantage.
  • Represent the Data Science team in leadership forums, communicating technical concepts and business impact clearly.
