- Our Data Scientists work in a full lifecycle role and on a broad range of subjects acquiring extensive technical and professional experience in data science, data engineering, coding, business understanding and client engagement.

- Design, develop and deploy LLM-based solutions (RAG, embeddings, instruction tuning) for subrogation, claims handling, document understanding, and related use cases.
- Experiment with the latest in Agentic AI technologies (Langchain/Langgraph, OpenAI Agent SDK, MCP, A2A) and develop MVP for the next generation of autonomous subrogation solutions.
- Develop "Chain-of-Thought" and "ReAct" prompting strategies to ensure the agent can justify its liability percentages based on the Comparative Negligence laws of different jurisdictions.
- Create custom "tools" for the agent, allowing it to query internal databases, call external weather APIs, or calculate impact force based on telemetry data.
- Establish rigorous evaluation frameworks (LLM-as-a-judge) to ensure the agent’s decisions are unbiased, legally sound, and explainable.
- Ensure responsible-AI practices: privacy, hallucination mitigation, explainability and compliance.
- Lead client workshops, present prototypes, gather feedback and help define roadmap priorities.

- Expert proficiency in production-level object-oriented programming (OOP) for building scalable and reliable systems.
- Proven hands-on experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI techniques (including RAG, embeddings, prompt engineering, and model tuning), leveraging frameworks such as OpenAI/Anthropic or open-source variants.
- Solid foundation in ML fundamentals with practical experience in the full machine learning lifecycle, including model evaluation, monitoring, versioning, and deployment in production environments.
- Experience designing and implementing robust data pipelines for document, OCR, and multi-modal data workflows.
- Agentic Frameworks: Experience with integrating frameworks like LangChain/LangGraph, OpenAI Agent SDK, CrewAI, A2A/MCP with Databricks or Azure-hosted models (e.g., DBRX, OpenAI GPT-5.3, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini).
- Demonstrated ability to effectively engage with clients, translate complex business needs into clear, actionable technical solutions, and manage stakeholder expectations.
