Remote Data Scientist/ai Engineer - INTL - Remote Eligible

Data Scientist/AI Engineer/ML Engineer

We are seeking a hands-on Data Scientist/AI Engineer/ML Engineer to design, build, evaluate, and deploy customer-facing LLM applications-with a primary focus on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic workflows, and production-grade Azure deployments.

This role will be responsible for delivering a web-enabled, customer-facing chatbot that combines proprietary knowledge with live web search, integrates securely with enterprise systems, and meets high standards for accuracy, reliability, observability, and safety.

This is not a research-only role. You will write production code, build evaluation harnesses, and own models and services from prototype through live deployment.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.

-Understanding of LLM limitations, failure modes, and mitigation strategies.

-Ability to design systems that balance accuracy, latency, cost, and safety. -Experience with LangChain, Semantic Kernel, LlamaIndex, or similar orchestration frameworks.

-Experience with hybrid search (keyword + vector) and reranking strategies.

-Familiarity with responsible AI, content filtering, and prompt safety patterns.

-Experience building customer-facing chatbots or conversational AI systems at scale.

-Background in NLP, information retrieval, or applied ML research.
