Role Title: Data Scientist (Generative AI)
Business Unit/Segment: Data Management
Location: London, United Kingdom (Flexible Hybrid Working)
Employment Type: Permanent
About the Role
We are seeking a talented and forward-thinking Data Scientist with expertise in Generative AI to join our Data Science team. In this role, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of innovative GenAI solutions that solve real business challenges. You will work with cutting-edge technologies, including Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, fine-tuning, embeddings, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), to deliver scalable, enterprise-grade AI applications.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), together with hands-on experience using modern GenAI frameworks and platforms such as OpenAI, LangChain, Hugging Face, Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, or similar technologies.
Key Responsibilities
As a Data Scientist, you will
- Design, develop, and deploy Generative AI solutions powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) to address business challenges across areas such as customer service, document automation, summarisation, and knowledge retrieval
- Fine-tune and adapt foundation models using domain-specific datasets to improve performance and business relevance
- Build and optimise Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using embedding models and vector databases such as FAISS, Pinecone, or ChromaDB
- Collaborate with Data Engineering, MLOps, and Product teams to develop and deploy end-to-end AI applications and APIs
- Design and optimise prompts and prompt workflows using tools such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, PromptFlow, or equivalent frameworks
- Evaluate model performance, monitor quality, mitigate bias, and optimise solutions for accuracy, latency, scalability, and cost
- Stay current with the latest developments in LLMs, transformer architectures, and the rapidly evolving Generative AI landscape
