You are hands-on and you will personally own development and delivery of most complex science modeling and implementation problems (e.g., our Generative AI application evaluation goal). You will stay current with emergent AI/ML science and engineering trends and influence our focus areas in a rapidly evolving landscape. You'll also participate in organizational planning, hiring, mentorship and leadership development. We are looking for a leader who can thrive in a startup environment, thinks big, move fast, and wants to change the way leaders use data to drive business success.
