Senior Data Scientist

Job Description

The client is partnered with a software company in Raleigh that needs to hire a Senior Data Scientist's for their flagship product, a leading global provider of information and analytics. Recently the company has focused on the general availability of AI for U.S. customers, a generative AI solution designed to transform legal work. This AI delivers trusted results in a familiar, easy-to-use interface with linked hallucination-free legal citations that combine the power of generative AI with proprietary client search technology, Shepard's® Citations functionality, and authoritative content.

The Senior Data Scientist's will focus on search and be dedicated to the creation of next-generation AI and Machine Learning techniques and strategies for the client in their global expansion. This candidate will assist with deploying ethical, powerful generative AI solutions with a flexible, multi-model approach that prioritizes using the best model for each individual legal use case. This approach includes working with large language models like Anthropic's Claude 2, hosted on Amazon Bedrock from Amazon Web Services (AWS), and OpenAI's GPT-4 and ChatGPT, hosted on Microsoft Azure.
