Data Scientist

Schlumberger has an opening in Pune, India for a Data Science Lead role responsible for driving the successful delivery of AI solutions to internal customers. The role involves designing and executing predictive and analytical models on large-scale, complex datasets using statistical methods, traditional machine learning, and deep learning across domains such as computer vision and NLP. In addition, the candidate will lead the development of Generative AI solutions leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and Transformer architectures, including building RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and multi-agent systems for autonomous reasoning and task execution. The role includes fine-tuning and evaluating foundation models, applying prompt engineering, and ensuring responsible AI practices. The individual will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate scalable AI solutions using MLOps/LLMOps, embeddings, and vector databases, while managing multiple projects, defining business problems, and delivering insights through presentations, prototypes, and stakeholder engagement.
