Join Veeva Systems , a pioneer in cloud solutions for the life sciences industry, as a Senior/Principal Data Scientist focusing on NLP.
Your role will primarily involve developing LLM-based agents that are specialized in searching and extracting detailed information about Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in the healthcare sector. You will craft an end-to-end human-in-the-loop pipeline to sift through a large array of unstructured medical documents—ranging from academic articles to clinical guidelines and meeting notes from therapeutic committees. You will also collaborate with over 2000 data curators and dedicated team of software developers and DevOps engineers to refine these models and deploy them into production environments.
*What You'll Do*
-
Adopt the latest technologies and trends in NLP to your platform -
Develop LLM-based agents capable of performing function calls and utilizing tools such as browsers for enhanced data interaction and retrieval. -
Experience with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) methods such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for training LLMs based on human preferences. -
Design, develop, and implement an end-to-end pipeline for extracting predefined categories of information from large-scale, unstructured data across multi-domain and multilingual settings -
Create a robust semantic search functionality that effectively answers user queries related to various aspects of the data -
Use and develop named entity recognition, entity-linking, slot-filling, few-shot learning, active learning, question/answering, dense passage retrieval and other statistical techniques and models for information extraction and machine reading -
Deeply understand and analyze our data model per data source and geo-region and interpret model decisions -
Collaborate with data quality teams to define annotation tasks, metrics, and perform qualitative and quantitative evaluation -
Utilize cloud infrastructure for model development, ensuring seamless collaboration with our team of software developers and DevOps engineers for efficient deployment to production
