A provider of digital research and analytics products is hiring a Senior Data Scientist for a hybrid role in Providence, Rhode Island. This position will influence how advanced AI is applied to legal and regulatory intelligence products used by professional customers.

Rather than focusing only on model training, this role will examine the entire analytical system: the source data, retrieval behavior, model reasoning, evaluation criteria, and user outcome. Major initiatives include LLM-powered research experiences, agentic automation, semantic retrieval, and intelligent processing of complex documents.

What You Bring

Strong command of language modeling, text analytics, and generative AI concepts

Experience creating production-oriented RAG architectures and semantic search solutions

Practical knowledge of agent frameworks and goal-driven AI workflows

Understanding of distributed computation and large-scale AI system design

Ability to evaluate model performance using quantitative analysis and structured experimentation

Valued Experience

Exposure to case law, statutes, regulatory materials, compliance data, or comparable specialized content

A bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline is required, with a master’s degree preferred

Experience balancing research innovation with reliability and product constraints

The Work

Primary Areas of Focus

Drive data science strategy for new research, document intelligence, and workflow-automation features

Create methods for chunking, indexing, retrieving, and ranking long-form professional content

Develop and assess LLM-based approaches for summarization, question answering, and interpretation

Prototype agentic systems capable of carrying out multi-stage research and analysis tasks

Present findings and recommendations to technical partners and help move successful concepts into enterprise products

Contract Information

6-month contract-to-hire engagement

Role highlights

Hybrid position located in Providence, Rhode Island

Direct impact on the design of next-generation AI-enabled research tools

Work involving complex text corpora and high-value professional use cases

Collaborative environment spanning data, software, architecture, and product disciplines

Pay and benefit details will be shared as part of the hiring process

Full-time United States work authorization is required both presently and on an ongoing basis.
