Location: Remote (Europe - CET) Experience: 5+ Years Project Duration: ~ 2 months (B2B contract) Availability: Immediate Joiner Role Overview We are seeking a visionary and highly skilled Senior Data Scientist to lead the development of a cutting-edge document intelligence and discovery platform. This unique role sits at the intersection of advanced Generative AI, Machine Learning, and Cheminformatics. Your primary mission will be to solve a highly complex unstructured data challenge: transforming scanned PDF documents containing intricate chemical structures into highly searchable, interpretable, and actionable knowledge bases. Architect Document Intelligence Solutions: Design and implement advanced Machine Learning and Deep Learning models to parse, extract, and interpret text and complex chemical structures from unstructured, scanned PDF documents. Develop LLM & Retrieval Systems: Build and optimize Large Language Model (LLM) applications, leveraging vector databases to enable semantic search, advanced data interpretation, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). End-to-End ML Pipelines: Own the entire machine learning lifecycle, including data preprocessing (specifically for chemical data and OCR outputs), model training, evaluation, deployment, and post-deployment monitoring. Bridge Chemistry & AI: Apply your chemistry domain knowledge to translate molecular structures, diagrams, and chemical data into machine-readable formats, embeddings, and actionable insights. Cloud Architecture & Deployment: Deploy scalable, secure, and production-ready AI/ML pipelines within the AWS ecosystem, ensuring high availability and performance. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with software engineers, data engineers, and domain experts to integrate ML models into the core product architecture and align with business goals. Professional Experience: 5+ years of proven experience working as a Data Scientist, with a track record of delivering production-grade machine learning models. Domain Expertise: A strong background in Chemistry, Cheminformatics, or a highly related scientific field, with a demonstrated ability to interpret and manipulate complex chemical structures and data types. Core Technical Stack: Advanced proficiency in Python and deep hands-on experience with the AWS cloud stack (e.g., SageMaker, Lambda, S3, EC2). Generative AI & Search: Practical, hands-on experience working with LLMs (fine-tuning, prompt engineering, or API integration) and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, or Qdrant). ML/DL Mastery: Robust experience in model development, validation, deployment, and evaluation framework tools (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn). Document Processing (Plus): Prior experience with Computer Vision, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), or Document AI systems is highly desirable given the scanned PDF focus. Soft Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills, excellent communication, and the ability to thrive in a highly collaborative, cross-disciplinary project environment. At Xenon7, we're not just building AI systems—we're building a community of talent with the mindset to lead, collaborate, and innovate together. Ecosystem of Opportunity: You'll be part of a growing network where client engagements, thought leadership, research collaborations, and mentorship paths are interconnected. Whether you're building solutions or nurturing the next generation of talent, this is a place to scale your influence. Collaborative Environment: Our culture thrives on openness, continuous learning, and engineering excellence. You'll work alongside seasoned practitioners who value smart execution and shared growth. Flexible & Impact-Driven Work: Whether you're contributing from a client project, innovation sprint, or open-source initiative, we focus on outcomes—not hours. Autonomy, ownership, and curiosity are encouraged here. Talent-Led Innovation: We believe communities are strongest when built around real practitioners. Our Innovation Community isn’t just a knowledge-sharing forum—it’s a launchpad for members to lead new projects, co-develop tools, and shape the direction of AI itself.
