Whether it’s investigating patient trends or weather patterns, you will work to solve real world problems for the industries transforming how we live.

Your Role and Responsibilities

Our mission is to revolutionize how humans interact with machines by developing and deploying the latest conversational artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP) and speech technologies in IBM’s industry-leading platforms, watsonx Assistant and watsonx Orchestrate. We are proud of the state-of-the-art, scalable and performant machine learning based system we have built, and we are now significantly expanding our team!

Being a Senior Data Scientist in NLP, AI and Machine Learning involves creating learning systems that enable humans and machines to perform better. These systems are designed to create new partnerships between people and machines to augment and scale human expertise in every industry, from healthcare to financial services to education.

Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain machine learning models and LLMs with a focus on big data
• Work in an Agile, collaborative environment to understand and develop solutions for requirements. You’ll be involved in designing, coding and testing innovative applications in areas such as machine learning, computational linguistics, Natural Language Processing (NLP), advanced and semantic information search, extraction, classification and reinforcement learning with exploration.
• Collaborate with research teams to adopt the latest technologies in AI and ML.
• Lead in implementing, testing and improving algorithms in these areas and proactively identify and file patentable technology
• Employ IBM Design Thinking to create products that provide a great user experience along with high performance, security, quality and stability.

Who you are:

• You are great at solving problems, debugging, troubleshooting, designing and implementing solutions to complex technical issues.
• You thrive on collaboration, working side by side with developers and scientists of all backgrounds and disciplines, and you have very strong verbal and written communication skills.
• You have awareness of knowledge representation and reasoning.
• You have an understanding of software development and programming in a language such as Java or Python.
• Above all, we are looking for team members with a keen sense of ownership, resilience and drive. If you like dynamic projects and enjoy being challenged, if you can make progress when faced with evolving requirements and occasional uncertainty, if you enjoy moving fast (and aren’t afraid of making a mistake or two on the way), then we are the perfect team for you!

Required Technical and Professional Expertise

• 5+ years of experience using programming languages like Python or Java to deliver AI-based applications into production environments
• 3+ years of experience in Machine Learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet, scikit-learn, or something similar
• 3+ years of applied knowledge in LLMs, Automated Knowledge Acquisition, Representation and Reasoning
• 3+ years of experience in advanced software engineering practices including Agile techniques

Preferred Technical and Professional Expertise

• Ability to develop and debug nondeterministic, adaptive systems
• Experience with multi-modal LLMs
• Experience with reinforcement learning, exploration and bandits
• Understanding of Bayesian statistics, counterfactual analysis or off-policy learning is a big plus
