Job Description

Are you a hands-on Data Scientist with strong roots in Classical Machine Learning, Model Explainability (SHAP), and modern LLM / RAG pipeline development?

At V4C.ai, a high-growth, Databricks-funded partner company scaled to 600+ professionals, we are expanding our core Data Science and AI practices. We are looking for a Data Scientist who brings strong mathematical/statistical rigor in classical ML, clear expertise in model interpretability (SHAP/XAI), and practical exposure to generative AI workflows (LLMs, RAG).

Key Responsibilities

• Core & Classical ML: Design, train, evaluate, and deploy classical machine learning models (Regression, Classification, Tree-based algorithms, Clustering) for complex enterprise problems.
• Model Explainability (XAI): Leverage SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations), LIME, or feature importance frameworks to interpret complex model predictions and communicate insights to stakeholders.
• LLM & RAG Pipelines: Build, optimize, and maintain Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using vector databases, embedding models, and LLM frameworks (LangChain / LlamaIndex).
• Data Engineering & Pipelines: Write robust, production-grade Python and SQL code to handle feature engineering, data extraction, and data preparation.
• Collaboration & Innovation: Partner with enterprise clients and internal engineering teams to deliver scalable, AI-driven solutions across Databricks and cloud ecosystems.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Experience Level: 2 to 10 years of hands-on data science engineering experience (roles open from Junior/Mid-level up to Senior Data Scientist).
• Core Technical Stack: Strong proficiency in Python (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and SQL.
• Classical Data Science: Solid foundation in machine learning algorithms, statistical modeling, hypothesis testing, and model evaluation metrics.
• Model Interpretability: Hands-on experience implementing SHAP for model explainability and auditing.
• GenAI / LLM Capabilities: Practical experience or strong understanding of LLMs, RAG architecture, vector stores (e.g., Pinecone, Chroma, FAISS), and prompt engineering.

Why Join V4C.ai?

• 100% Remote Work Setup: Complete flexibility to work from anywhere.
• Databricks-Funded Scale: Work with a fast-growing partner firm backed directly by Databricks, operating at the bleeding edge of enterprise AI.
• Cutting-Edge Tech Stack: Balance core classical ML models with next-gen Claude, LLM, and Lakehouse AI architectures.
