Senior Data Scientist at Berkeley Research Group, LLC in Washington, Washington DC

Job Description:

Overview

BRG’s AI and ML practice supports and augments existing litigation and discovery technologies. In litigation settings, much of the work we do ends up in review technology software programs. We perform all the required eDiscovery services (processing, hosting, review support, and productions) and augment them with AI techniques such as similarity scoring of documents, handwritten document detection, enhanced keyword-search techniques, and non-keyword privilege document identification. These augmented techniques are added to review platforms, so they are integrated with the technology people are already using.

Reporting to the Managing Director of the practice, the Data Scientists will be responsible for driving the company analytics strategy and execution. S/he will examine markets and technologies to determine the most important problems to be solved and the most likely means to solve them. The Data Scientist will recommend focus areas for analytics exploration which will separate BRG from its competitors. S/he will harness the power of AI and Machine Learning that will power BRG’s advance in the market.

The right candidate must be an intuitive thought leader who can fully understand global market demands in both the public and private sectors. Additionally, s/he will serve collaboratively with the engineering, project, and sales teams to ensure alignment of analytics strategy and business strategy. The Data Scientist will be both a “strategic thinker” and “pragmatic doer” who shapes, leads, and executes on the analytics priorities. The ideal candidate will not be shy about product reinvention, always looking for new ways to make BRG difficult to follow.
