Focused on relationships, you are building meaningful client connections, and learning how to manage and inspire others. Navigating increasingly complex situations, you are growing your personal brand, deepening technical expertise and awareness of your strengths. You are expected to anticipate the needs of your teams and clients, and to deliver quality. Embracing increased ambiguity, you are comfortable when the path forward isn’t clear, you ask questions, and you use these moments as opportunities to grow.

Examples of the skills, knowledge, and experiences you need to lead and deliver value at this level include but are not limited to:

• Respond effectively to the diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.

• Uphold and reinforce professional and technical standards (e.g. refer to specific PwC tax and audit guidance), the Firm's code of conduct, and independence requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate across teams: Partner with cross-functional groups to understand business requirements and identify opportunities for GenAI technology.
• Develop algorithms: Design and build advanced deep learning algorithms for generative models.
• Integrate AI solutions: Incorporate generative AI into existing workflow systems for smooth adoption.
• Research advancements: Stay up-to-date with the latest generative AI technologies and methodologies.
• Optimize performance: Fine-tune and enhance generative models for peak performance and efficiency.
• Troubleshoot implementations: Diagnose and resolve issues related to generative AI models and deployments.
• Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation detailing generative AI models and their applications.
• Communicate findings: Translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years in data science or applied ML with shipped solutions; strong Python proficiency.
• Practical LLM experience: Building RAG pipelines, prompt/chain design, and experience with supervised or adapter-based tuning (LoRA/QLoRA).
• NLP/ML Tooling: Proficiency with PyTorch or TensorFlow, scikit-learn, and the Hugging Face ecosystem.
• Web development: Familiarity with Python web frameworks (Flask, FastAPI) for AI model web applications.
• Cloud-native development: REST APIs, microservices, serverless functions.
• Retrieval & vector search: Experience with embeddings, vector databases, and ranking/re-ranking techniques.
• Evaluation & experimentation: Designing metrics, A/B testing with sound statistical methods.
• Data skills: Strong SQL abilities; working with data lakes/warehouses and orchestration tools.
• MLOps/LLMOps: Experiment tracking (MLflow/Weights & Biases), model packaging, CI/CD for ML, monitoring, and incident response.
• Cloud deployment: Experience with Azure and/or AWS; containerization with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Communication: Ability to translate business needs into technical plans and communicate results clearly to diverse audiences.
