nEmployment Type: Full-time, Work from Office
nRole Overview
nWe are looking for a Data Scientist with hands-on Python coding skills to develop and deploy AI/ML solutions for identity management. The role involves working with real-world identity data, developing NLP and name-matching algorithms, building ML models, and integrating them into production applications.
nThe candidate will also be required to understand, analyze, enhance, and extend an existing Python codebase. Since access to external LLM-based coding assistants such as ChatGPT or Claude may be limited due to the confidentiality of data, the candidate must have strong independent coding and problem-solving abilities.
