What You'll Be Doing… As a Senior Engineer Consultant in AI Science, you will be a technical expert and hands-on developer responsible for building, deploying, and managing end-to-end AI services to power next-generation generative and Agentic AI use cases for network autonomy. You will play a crucial role in delivering the core Autonomous Networks framework, which transforms network operations from reactive queues into a continuous, 24/7 autonomous workforce. This role requires expertise in designing and optimizing large-scale AI/ML solutions, focusing on the technical components that detect, aggregate, synthesize, investigate, and recommend actionable strategies across the global network.

What We're Looking For…

• Design, develop, and optimize Artificial Intelligence, SLM/LLM solutions to diverse real-world problems and implement cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence models and systems.
• Implement and analyze the performance of advanced algorithms, including those from deep learning and generative AI.
• Apply expertise to the five layers of autonomous agents, developing models for continuous monitoring, impact aggregation, contextual event clustering, and evidence-based root cause hypothesis generation.
• Design and implement robust AI/ML pipelines for efficient model training, deployment, and real-time monitoring.
• Contribute to developing robust and scalable distributed computing systems for large-scale data processing.
• Utilize advanced Prompt and Context engineering and optimization techniques to enhance SLM/LLM modeling.
• Communicate complex model designs and outcomes in business terms to non-technical audiences.
• Stay current with the latest advancements in generative AI and deep learning, contributing to research and development of novel models.

You'll Need To Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field or four or more years of work experience.
• Four or more years of relevant work experience.
• Five or more years as a data scientist with exposure to full-stack model development, deployment, evaluation, optimization, and scaling.
• Strong hands-on experience working with GCP, BigQuery/SQL, Python, and Spark.
• Understanding of containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Must have AI Hygiene with Model/Agents inferencing, tracing and serving tools and techniques.
• Experience with modeling techniques including Statistics (Hypothesis testing, Regression), Machine Learning (Classification, Clustering), and AI Algorithms (GenAI/NLP, Deep Learning).
• Ability to explain both the code and the underlying math used in algorithms/models.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Prior experience with telecommunications industry data, 4G/5G technologies, or network automation use cases.
• Familiarity with specific Agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph) and evaluation frameworks (e.g., Galileo, Deepevals).
• Practiced building Mixture of Experts Models, Agents, Skills and tools. If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
