Grade Level (for internal use):

The Team: As a leader in the EDO, Collection Platforms & AI – Cognitive Engineering team, you will own the vision and delivery of enterprise-scale Data Science and GenAI solutions that power natural language understanding, data extraction, information retrieval, data sourcing, and speech-to-text services for S&P Global. You will define the data science strategy, champion best practices, mentor across functions, and drive production-ready AI/ML products from ideation through deployment. You’ll work in a (truly) global team that values thoughtful risk-taking and self-initiative.

What’s in it for you:

• Lead data science strategy and build solutions at enterprise scale
• Grow and mentor a world-class team of data scientists and ML engineers
• Solve high-complexity, high-impact problems end-to-end
• Define roadmaps for emerging AI capabilities (GenAI, ASR, speaker analytics)

Responsibilities:

• Shape and execute the Data Science roadmap: tooling, methodologies, and best practices for ML, GenAI, and ASR
• Architect, develop, and deploy large-scale ML and GenAI pipelines-including Voice Activity Detection (VAD), Speaker Diarization, and ASR models-for automated transcription services
• Own the full data science lifecycle: opportunity identification, requirement gathering, modeling, evaluation, validation, deployment, monitoring, and optimization
• Lead exploratory data analysis, proof-of-concepts, benchmarking, and production model validation for both text- and speech-based AI solutions
• Establish and enforce coding standards, perform technical reviews, and optimize workflows for reproducibility and scalability
• Drive MLOps practices: CI/CD for models, feature stores, monitoring, alerting, and automated rollback strategies
• Mentor and develop junior and mid-level data scientists; foster a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and collaboration
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, Product, IT, Compliance) to align on project goals, timelines, and SLAs

Technical Requirements:

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in Data Science/AI, with at least 3 years in a senior or leadership role with strong hands on skills.
• Proven expertise in developing and deploying ASR systems:
  • Training or fine-tuning end-to-end ASR models (e.g., Whisper, QuartzNet)
  • Designing VAD pipelines for robust speech segmentation
  • Implementing Speaker Diarization (e.g., Pyannote, UISR) and handling multi-speaker audio
  • Optimizing transcription accuracy across accents, languages, and noisy environments
• Deep knowledge of large language models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Llama), prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and embedding-based retrieval
• Expert proficiency in Python (NumPy, Pandas, SpaCy, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TF 2, Hugging Face Transformers)
• Strong understanding of ML & deep learning architectures: NLP transformers, GNNs, multimodal systems
• Solid grasp of statistics, probability, and the mathematics underpinning modern AI
• Track record of synthesizing cutting-edge research into production solutions
• Experience with orchestration and deployment tools: Docker, Kubernetes, Airflow, Redis, Flask/Django/FastAPI, PySpark, SQL, and cloud services (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Openness to evaluate and adopt emerging technologies and languages as needed

Good to have:

• Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, or related field
• Prior experience in the Economics/Financial industry, especially market-intelligence or risk analytics
• Public contributions on GitHub, Kaggle, StackOverflow, technical blogs, or publications
• Familiarity with speaker embedding techniques, speech enhancement, and noise-robust modeling
