Requirements

• 60%+ of this gig is building LLMs - and doing so from scratch. Hence the need for DS with, a) this expertise; and, b) have done so in a commercial setting [as opposed to academia when in a Research capacity].

• They need to have built the LLMs, built the pipelines, deployed 'em and managed/monitored 'em.

• These LLMs must have had a quantifiable business impact which is demonstrable on the resume and in an interview.

• Finally…as for alGORITHM/MLexpertise, we need to find folks with the following:

• "… knowledge of statistics and have developed ML models like Random Forst, XGboost, Regression, and other classification and regression forecasting… "

• In summary…these DS roles are very similar to those of Toyota Connected. Guys who can do it all - interface and gather Clients from stakeholders, build the models, deploy, manage and utilize. They won’t get much in the way of technical or business direction - they will be self-sufficient and the ones who drive the insights, "Look what I found… " bus. They CANNOT be the types who just sit at their desk crunching numbers, publishing reports and onto the next. They need to be on the front foot and pushing the boundaries.
