About the role
We are seeking a Manager of Data Science to lead a high-impact team focused on building intelligent systems powered by LLMs and RAG architectures . This role will focus on improving LLM-powered drafting and retrieval solutions through advanced search, embeddings, reranking, evaluation, and production-grade ML components. You’ll drive the strategy, technical execution, and team growth necessary to build next-generation legal assistants, capable of contextual document drafting, and interaction with structured and unstructured data sources.
What you'll bring
- Previous people management experience (3+ years) of teams building LLM-based applications, especially in domains requiring rigor and traceability like legal, finance, or compliance.
- Hands-on experience delivering systems using LangChain, LLM agent frameworks, vector databases, and prompt orchestration pipelines.
- Strong background in deploying retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for grounded and auditable responses.
- Demonstrated success in taking LLM-powered applications from prototype to production.
- Proficient with Python and LLM tooling: LangChain, HuggingFace Transformers, OpenAI APIs, and prompt tuning techniques.
- Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Solr, Elasticsearch, Qdrant, Weaviate), knowledge graphs, and hybrid retrieval architectures.
- Working knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, and model serving tools (TorchServe, Triton, Ray Serve).
- Cloud infrastructure experience on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Preferred Background
- Graduate degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or equivalent experience.
- 6 years of post-degree experience, with 3+ years in a data science or applied AI leadership role, with a focus on NLP/LLM systems.
- Prior experience in legal tech, legal AI, or document-intensive domains is highly desirable.
