Principal Applied Scientist

Identify high-value opportunities where applied AI can fundamentally improve how work is performed, and translate ambiguous business problems into rigorous technical approaches and experiments. Rapidly prototype, evaluate, and iterate on AI solutions, using AI-first development and coding tools to accelerate experimentation and move promising approaches toward production. Design robust evaluation methodologies, benchmarks, experiments, and success criteria that connect model and system performance to measurable operational outcomes.Build scalable data, experimentation, and learning loops that use real-world signals and feedback to continuously improve AI systems. Translate research into production-ready capabilities, partnering closely with engineering teams across architecture, implementation, deployment, observability, reliability, and performance. Develop reusable AI methods, frameworks, and evaluation approaches that can accelerate multiple transformation scenarios rather than solving only a single use case. Provide technical leadership across applied AI initiatives, helping teams evaluate emerging techniques, make sound technical tradeoffs, and determine where new approaches can create meaningful impact. Ensure Responsible AI, privacy, security, scientific rigor, and appropriate governance are incorporated throughout experimentation and deployment.
