Job Description
Data Scientist
Powerfleet
• Design, build, and ship Generative AI capabilities that power tools for technical Q&A and data understanding. • Develop agentic workflows (planning, tool use, retrieval, execution, verification) with measurable quality, reliability, and cost controls. • Build evaluation systems for GenAI: offline test sets, automated scoring, human review loops, regression suites, and production monitoring. • Deliver production-ready services and pipelines (APIs, background jobs, data processing, configuration, release workflows) with strong engineering discipline. • Partner with product, engineering, and domain experts to translate customer problems into milestones, acceptance criteria, and clear success metrics. • Improve system quality through testing, observability, performance optimization (latency and scalability), and guardrails. • Contribute to an engineering-first culture: thoughtful design docs, code reviews, and pragmatic technical decisions.
Job Requirements
- 6–10+ years of relevant experience in applied data science and Generative AI/LLM product development, including significant responsibility for production delivery.
- Strong programming skills in Python, with modern engineering practices (testing, packaging, CI/CD, APIs, code reviews).
- Proven experience delivering GenAI/LLM applications into production (not just prototypes), including reliability and operational considerations.
- Hands-on experience building agents and using agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Agno, or similar tool-using agent stacks).
- Delivery-oriented and comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end: scoping, implementation, rollout, and iteration.
- Independent, autonomous, self-driven, and proactive in a remote team; able to take a problem area and drive it to outcomes with minimal oversight.
- Clear communicator: able to explain trade-offs, write crisp documentation, and align stakeholders.
- Deeply curious and committed to staying up to date with the latest developments in Generative AI and agent frameworks, recognizing the field evolves rapidly.
Benefits
- Fully remote role with a remote-first team culture (well-suited to Europe and South Africa time zones).
- High-ownership work on a customer-facing AI product that solves real operational and technical problems.
- Environment that values shipping, measurable impact, and maintainable systems.
- Competitive, region-aligned compensation and meaningful opportunities to grow scope based on impact.
