Qualifications

• Currently in the final year of a Master’s or Engineering degree with strong foundations in ML, statistics, and programming.
• Good grasp of model validation: train/test splits, data leakage, baselines.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to work autonomously on open-ended research tasks.
• Familiarity with large language models and agentic techniques (prompting, tool calling, structured outputs, evaluation).
• Strong Python skills and proficiency with standard data science tools (pandas/polars, scikit-learn, gradient-boosting libraries).
• Fluency in English.

Responsibilities

• Review the latest research on agentic data science and AI agent evaluation.
• Design and implement remit’s agents from problem framing to data design and automatic checks.
• Help define how the system works with business users: when to ask questions and how to explain results in plain language.
• Extend the system toward modeling and evaluation using trusted tools (scikit-learn, AutoML, tabular foundation models).
• Build a benchmark of realistic business cases; run experiments to measure quality, reliability and cost; participate in a pilot with business users.
• Help integrate the system with the Databricks stack (Unity Catalog, MLflow) and ensure safe, governed operation of agents.
