Job Title: Manager (Data Science with AI)

Duration: Full Time / Permanent Role

Location: Raleigh, NC || Hybrid

Job Description:

Typically requires:

  • 8 years of relevant experience in data science, machine learning, or applied AI
  • 4 years of leadership experience (direct or indirect team management)
  • We recognize that exceptional candidates may follow non-traditional paths and value demonstrated impact, technical depth, and leadership over strict credential requirements. Success in this role requires:
  • Leading through both technical expertise and organizational influence
  • Acting as a change agent, embedding best practices into workflows and systems
  • Driving both team development and strategic outcomes across a broad scope
  • Ability to select the right tools and technologies to solve business problems

Technical Proficiency

  • Proficient with Python, ML and LLM tooling such as Google ADK, LangChain, ML Frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch) and prompt tuning techniques.
  • Familiarity with vector databases, knowledge graphs, and hybrid retrieval architecture.
  • Strong experience working with structured and unstructured data at scale.
  • Ability to design and implement data pipelines and preparation workflows.
  • Experience integrating ML into complex, multi-stage processing systems
  • Working knowledge of containerization, CI/CD, RESTful API Design and model serving tools.
  • Cloud infrastructure experience on AWS (preferred), Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
  • Familiarity with AI Coding Tools (e.g. GitHub CoPilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex)

Preferred Background

  • Graduate degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or equivalent experience.
  • 8 years of post-degree experience, with 4 years in a data science or applied AI leadership role, with a focus on NLP/LLM systems.
  • Prior experience in legal tech, legal AI, or document-intensive domains is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with ethical/legal considerations in deploying generative AI in professional settings.

Key Responsibilities: Scope & Impact

  • Set the vision and strategic priorities, acting as a recognized expert for Data Science
  • Lead and develop a team of data scientists and ML engineers, setting the cultural tone for the group
  • Drive applied research with a clear path to production, explicitly balancing innovation against real-world constraints including latency, cost, and reliability
  • Build and scale evaluation science capabilities within the team, including offline evaluation frameworks, automated benchmarking pipelines, and human-in-the-loop feedback systems to rigorously measure model quality and business impact
  • Champion hands-on rapid prototyping and iteration
  • Collaborate with other Data Science teams to maximize re-use of components and patterns, eliminating waste, duplication and unnecessary customization
  • Operate with broad scope, coordinating across multiple cross-functional teams, systems, and domains

Technical & Product Leadership:

  • Collaborate closely with other Data Science teams, to define and execute the AI roadmap across the content lifecycle, maximizing reuse in areas including:
  • Content collection (e.g. "web scraping”) and transformation
  • Metadata extraction, enrichment, and classification
  • Agentic workflows turning real-world events and legal content into legal intelligence
  • AI-powered downstream product capabilities
  • Design and deploy scalable, production-grade AI systems, including:
  • LLM-powered document understanding and generation
  • Agentic workflows balancing agent autonomy and efficiency with required structure and accuracy
  • Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines
  • Hybrid ML rules-based systems for structured content

Lead through execution and by example:

  • Actively writing code, not just delegating
  • Building and demoing working prototypes (e.g. by "vibe coding”)
  • Directly contributing to experiments and production models
  • Establish and scale best practices in Data Science, including:
  • Model development, evaluation, and monitoring
  • Prompt engineering and experimentation frameworks
  • Data preparation and feature engineering standards
  • Reusable components and platform capabilities
  • Partner closely with engineering, architecture, and product leaders to:
  • Integrate AI into large-scale distributed systems
  • Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability
  • Align technical solutions with business outcomes
  • Translate complex, ambiguous problems into clear project plans and executable solutions, and lead teams through delivery
  • Present tradeoffs, alternative approaches and options when faced with delivery constraints

Team & Operational Excellence:

  • Mentor and grow a multidisciplinary team of LLM-focused Data Scientists and ML Engineers.
  • Drive cross-functional collaboration with Legal SMEs, Data Engineers, Product Managers, and Design.
  • Establish best practices for evaluation, observability, and responsible use of generative AI.
  • Oversee development of infrastructure to support continuous delivery and monitoring of LLM systems in production environments.

Core Qualifications: Experience & Education

  • Advanced degree (Master''s or PhD) in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field strongly preferred, or equivalent practical experience
  • Bachelor''s degree in a relevant field with significant applied experience in data science, machine learning, or AI
