Job Description: Senior Data Scientist – Large Language Models | Abu Dhabi, UAE

About Presight

Presight is an ADX-listed public company with G42 (Abu Dhabi) as its majority shareholder and the region’s leading big data analytics company powered by GenAI. We combine big data, advanced analytics, and AI to drive business and societal impact, helping public and private sector organizations realize their AI strategies faster.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist with strong expertise in large language models (LLMs), agentic workflows, and applied machine learning. This role involves leading the design, training, and deployment of next-generation AI solutions that power intelligent agents, natural language interfaces, and knowledge-driven applications across domains. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, high-performance AI systems that unlock value from unstructured and structured data.

Responsibilities:

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and optimize LLM-based solutions for tasks such as text understanding, summarization, semantic search, dialogue systems, and reasoning.
• Develop and orchestrate agentic workflows, integrating LLMs with tools, APIs, and data pipelines for autonomous task execution.
• Fine-tune and align LLMs on domain-specific datasets, leveraging techniques such as RLHF, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and knowledge grounding.
• Architect multi-modal AI pipelines combining LLMs with computer vision, knowledge graphs, and structured data.
• Ensure scalability, efficiency, and reliability of deployed models on cloud and edge environments.
• Stay updated with the latest research in GenAI, agents, and applied AI, translating findings into innovative product features.
• Collaborate with software engineers, data engineers, and product managers to integrate AI models into production systems.
• Document methodologies, publish internal best practices, and present findings to stakeholders.
