Lead comprehensive applications/web development for highly complex projects; typically work as part of a team to implement complex business solutions. Deliver strategic and expert coding; focus on overarching development strategy for a large, complex, multi-faceted application. May manage a number of projects simultaneously.
As a Senior Data Scientist specializing in Generative AI applications, you will play a pivotal role in developing innovative generative AI products that support the Harvard Business School (HBS) Foundry team and learners on our platform. This key technical role requires hands-on expertise across data science, machine learning, and AI solutions. You will manage the lifecycle of artificial intelligence algorithms and tools across a variety of domains.
- Design and implement efficient data pipelines for data collection, cleaning, labeling, and preprocessing.
- Ensure quality of datasets tailored for LLM training for each product. Build data science pipelines from feature generation, data visualization and models evaluation; design the solution, build code and provide documentation with ways of working to maximize time to value, re-usability, and scalability.
- Designing, developing, deploying, and implementing multi-agent AI tools that assess and provide feedback on venture-related submissions, automatically generate pitch decks, financial projections, marketing strategies, and other materials to support entrepreneurs, and act as a counterparty to simulate important entrepreneurial interactions.
- Designing generative AI models using techniques like natural language processing and machine learning that can power interactive tools on HBS Foundry.
- Designing an AI-powered system that collects key factors to determine a learner’s profile, entrepreneurial progress, and venture progress, and provides customized learning pathways based on these factors.
- Integrating AI tools into the HBS Foundry platform in a seamless manner so they are easy for users to access and utilize.
- Collaborate on technical vision to accelerate product impact through cutting-edge LLM innovations.
- Building guardrails, compliance rules, and oversight workflows into the GenAI tools and Foundry platform.
- Continually improving AI tools using feedback from users to ensure they are providing valuable assistance.
- Monitor, debug, track, and resolve production issues.
- Work with the Foundry Project Director to ensure that projects proceed on time and on budget.
- Collaborate with Product Managers to ensure proper tracking of performance KPIs and prioritize improvements based on effort and impact.
- Presenting prototypes and progress updates to stakeholders.
- Staying up to date on the latest advances in AI/ML research and identifying how new techniques could enhance the HBS Foundry platform.
