About the Team
Join the team that powers Elsevier’s research platforms—Scopus/Scopus AI, ScienceDirect/ScienceDirect AI, and journal submission & peer review workflows.
About the Role
You will bridge Data Science and Engineering to turn experimental NLP/IR/GenAI models into secure, reliable, and scalable services. Our systems operate over one of the world’s largest scholarly corpora, so you’ll work on AI-based features (GenAI, Agentic AI, RAG, etc.) search/ranking quality, and knowledge graph aware retrieval while enforcing content rights and editorial confidentiality.
Responsibilities
- ML & LLM Engineering, Search and Recommendation Engines
- Automate and orchestrate machine learning workflows across major cloud and AI platforms (AWS, Azure, Databricks, and foundation model APIs such as OpenAI)
- Maintain and version model registries and artifact stores to ensure reproducibility and governance
- Develop and manage CI/CD for ML, including automated data validation, model testing, and deployment
- Implement ML Engineering solutions using popular MLOps platforms such as AWS SageMaker, MLflow, Azure ML
- End‑to‑end custom SageMaker pipelines for recommendation systems
- Design and implement the engineering components of GAR+RAG systems (e.g., query interpretation and reflection, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, semantic search), manage prompt libraries, guardrails and structured output for LLMs hosted on Bedrock/SageMaker or self‑hosted
- Design and implement ML pipelines that utilize Elasticsearch/OpenSearch/Solr, vector DBs, and graph DBs
- Build evaluation pipelines: offline IR metrics (e.g., NDCG, MAP, MRR), LLM quality metrics (e.g., faithfulness, grounding), and A/B testing
- Optimize infrastructure costs through monitoring, scaling strategies, and efficient resource utilization
- Stay current with the latest GAI research, NLP and RAG and apply the state‑of‑the‑art in our experiments and systems
- Collaboration: Partner with Subject‑Matter Experts, Product Managers, Data Scientists and Responsible AI experts to translate business problems into cutting edge data science solutions
- Collaborate and interface with Operations Engineers who deploy and run production infrastructure
Requirements
- Extensive experience ML Engineering, MLOps platforms, shipping ML or search/GenAI systems to production
- Strong Python, Java, and/or Scala engineering
- Experience with statistical analysis, machine learning theory and natural language processing
- Hands‑on‑experience with major cloud vendor solutions (AWS, Azure and/or Google)
- Search/vector/graph technologies (e.g., Elasticsearch / OpenSearch / Solr/ Neo4j)
- Experience in evaluating LLM models
- Background with scholarly publishing workflows, bibliometrics, or citation graphs
- A strong understanding of the Data Science Life Cycle including feature engineering, model training, and evaluation metrics
- Familiarity with ML frameworks, e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, PySpark
- Experience with large scale data processing systems, e.g., Spark
