Who We're Looking For

Some of What You'll Do

Ground Truth (GT) Maintenance

• Assess current S3-based GT storage and versioning practices.
• Recommend and design a scalable GT management system supporting seamless, criteria-based (age, source, quality) replacement or updating of records at the record level, while preserving vital historical data needed for domain-specific classifiers.
• Evaluate migration toward a more structured storage solution (e.g., database-backed repository) to enable advanced filtering, automated quality/validation checks, and access by multiple downstream services.
• Provide implementation support or a prototype for automated GT refresh and validation processes tailored to the training pipelines.

Model Quality Assurance and Validation

• Evaluate the current post-training assessment approach, including use of small live-data snapshots and empirical accuracy/degradation thresholds.
• Design and set up an independent integration testing framework using small, highly curated test datasets targeted to specific product requirements, run alongside the latest production data snapshots.
• Recommend additional quality checks, including methods to detect and quantify data distribution shifts (data drift) between historical GT blends and live production data.
• Define procedures and tools for ongoing model quality monitoring post-deployment.

Re-training Automation

• Design and support implementation of a fully automated monthly re-training pipeline that ingests new material from the TC team and integrates with the updated GT management system.
• Recommend best practices for handling imbalanced datasets, including evaluation of privacy-aware, LLM-based synthetic data augmentation techniques where appropriate.
• Select and configure orchestration tooling (e.g., MLflow, Apache Airflow, or a custom system) to establish a formal, well-documented, and reproducible re-training process that reduces reliance on manual curation or any single individual.
• Integrate GT maintenance and model quality checks into the automated pipeline, and deliver comprehensive documentation, knowledge transfer, and handover.

Program and Communication

• Participate in regular progress review meetings and provide periodic status updates against the agreed work plan and milestones.
• Maintain written documentation of issues, proposed solutions, and any agreed changes to scope or priorities.
• Track and report hours/effort weekly in accordance with time-reporting requirements.

Experience, Education, and Certifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• Demonstrated experience designing or operating machine learning data pipelines, including dataset versioning, storage, and validation practices.
• Hands-on experience with cloud object storage (e.g., AWS S3) and evaluating relational/NoSQL database-backed alternatives.
• Experience with ML orchestration/automation tools such as MLflow, Apache Airflow, or comparable platforms.
• Familiarity with model validation techniques, including drift detection and integration/regression testing for ML models.

Additional Requirements:

• Understanding of supervised learning workflows and Ground Truth dataset management at scale.
• Familiarity with privacy-conscious, LLM-based synthetic data generation approaches for addressing imbalanced datasets.
• Working knowledge of data quality and distribution-shift (data drift) monitoring methods.
• Strong documentation skills, with the ability to produce clear, reproducible technical designs and runbooks.
• Good communication and analytical skills; able to work independently in an iterative, workshop-driven engagement.
• Ability to comply with client data-handling protocols and security requirements, including when using personal equipment.
