Job Summary
We are seeking a Sr Data Scientist to design, build, and operationalize production-grade machine learning solutions that support content production, localization, metadata enrichment, intelligent search, and archival workflows across large-scale media systems. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in applied machine learning, statistical modeling, MLOps, and cloud-native technologies, with the ability to develop scalable AI solutions and collaborate across engineering, operations, and product teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, train, and optimize machine learning models for media metadata extraction, content classification, entity resolution, semantic search, similarity search, and multimodal understanding.
- Build predictive and prescriptive models to improve content operations, localization quality, asset matching, retrieval ranking, and automated tagging.
- Perform feature engineering, statistical analysis, model selection, and model optimization using modern machine learning frameworks.
- Develop scalable machine learning pipelines using Python, cloud-native services, and enterprise data platforms.
- Collaborate with Data Engineering teams to design data pipelines for model training, validation, and inference.
- Build evaluation frameworks and monitoring solutions to ensure model quality, reliability, and drift detection.
- Containerize, deploy, and maintain machine learning services using CI/CD pipelines and orchestration frameworks.
- Integrate machine learning models with content production systems, APIs, metadata services, and enterprise platforms.
- Ensure model reproducibility, versioning, and lifecycle management following enterprise MLOps practices.
- Apply machine learning techniques to content production, localization, content distribution, archival, retrieval, and semantic search use cases.
- Partner with product managers, engineering teams, operations teams, and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into AI-driven solutions.
- Communicate technical concepts, model performance, and implementation trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Evaluate emerging machine learning technologies, vector search solutions, embeddings, and cloud-native AI services to drive continuous innovation.
