We are always moving forward - always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

As a Data Scientist at Kyndryl you are the bridge between business problems and innovative solutions, using a powerful blend of well-defined methodologies, statistics, mathematics, domain expertise, consulting, and software engineering. You'll wear many hats, and each day will present a new puzzle to solve, a new challenge to conquer.

You will dive deep into the heart of our business, understanding its objectives and requirements - viewing them through the lens of business acumen, and converting this knowledge into a data problem. You'll collect and explore data, seeking underlying patterns and initial insights that will guide the creation of hypotheses.

Overview : We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Data Scientist with a minimum of 10 years of experience in Data Science and Machine Learning. The ideal candidate should have expertise in NLP, Generative AI, LLMs, MLOps, optimization techniques, and AI solution architecture.

Utilizing statistical and mathematical modeling techniques, you'll have the opportunity to create models that defy convention - models that hold the key to solving intricate business challenges. With an acute eye for accuracy and generalization, you'll evaluate these models to ensure they not only solve business problems but do so optimally.

Additionally, you're not just building and validating models - you're deploying them as code to applications and processes, ensuring that the model(s) you've selected sustains its business value throughout its lifecycle.

Your expertise doesn't stop at data; you'll become intimately familiar with our business processes and have the ability to navigate their complexities, identifying issues and crafting solutions that drive meaningful change in these domains. You will develop and apply standards and policies that protect our organization's most valuable asset - ensuring that data is secure, private, accurate, available, and, most importantly, usable.
