AI Data Science Research Specialist

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for an AI Data Science Research Specialist in the United States.

As an AI Data Science Research Specialist, you will join a cutting-edge research team focused on developing novel machine learning and AI systems. You will work on designing and implementing experimental frameworks, real-time data management methods, and neural network architectures to solve complex, data-intensive problems. This role allows you to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, contribute to fundamental AI research, and innovate in areas such as neuro-symbolic AI, deep learning, and simulation-based learning systems. You will write modular, testable research code, extend evolving codebases, and help optimize system components while contributing to hypothesis-driven experimentation. The position provides a flexible, collaborative environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and professional growth.

Accountabilities

• Develop modular, testable code to implement data management methods, statistical analyses, or architectural mechanisms.
• Extend and optimize evolving codebases to support structured learning experiments and neural network frameworks.
• Organize and maintain internal data structures for system components, including experimental runners, memory modules, and parameter schedulers.
• Write structured logging and diagnostic tools to support hypothesis-driven debugging and experimental validation.
• Collaborate closely with research scientists to translate conceptual research questions into computational implementations.
• Participate in the design, implementation, and iteration of simulation-based and real-time AI systems.
• Ensure compliance with corporate policies, procedures, and security standards while performing research activities.

• Ph.D. in Data Science, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from an accredited university.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in fundamental data science research and implementation in academic, private, public, government, or military environments.
• Strong fluency in Python and experience with object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.
• Comprehensive understanding of deep learning internals, embeddings, attention mechanisms, optimization, and data parallelization.
• Experience with statistics, including detection theory, frequentist and Bayesian methods, and estimation theory.
• Familiarity with neuro-symbolic AI systems and AI research frameworks.
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, fast learning ability, and solid communication skills.
• Comfortable working in a collaborative team with evolving problems and shared codebases.

• Competitive salary and variable incentive pay.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Flexible work arrangements and remote-friendly environment.
• Opportunities for professional growth and engagement in cutting-edge AI research.
• Retirement plans, paid time off, and other standard U.S. employment benefits.
• Collaborative, innovative, and supportive research culture.
