What You'll Do: Shape the Way the World Understands Data

We are seeking a Staff AI Data Scientist to provide technical leadership and strategic direction for training and fine-tuning language models across Teradata’s AI platform. This role goes beyond individual execution — you will define best practices, influence architecture decisions, and mentor senior engineers, while still remaining hands-on with critical model training efforts. You will:

Define and lead the LLM/SLM training strategy, including model selection, data strategy, and alignment approaches.




Architect scalable and reusable training and evaluation pipelines for instruction tuning, preference optimization, and synthetic data workflows.
Establish evaluation standards and benchmarks for model quality, hallucination reduction, safety, and reliability across teams.
Drive adoption of productive fine-tuning and inference optimization techniques (PEFT, quantization, distillation) at platform scale.
Partner with platform and infrastructure teams to influence training and serving architecture, GPU utilization, and cost efficiency.
Mentor senior and mid-level data scientists and engineers; raise the overall bar for model quality and engineering rigor.
Act as a technical advisor to product and leadership on LLM capabilities, limitations, and trade-offs.
Track cutting-edge research and proactively translate it into practical, enterprise-ready solutions.
