[Hiring] Data Scientist III @BMC Software

Role Description

BMC empowers nearly 80% of the Forbes Global 100 to accelerate business value, faster than humanly possible. Our industry-leading portfolio unlocks human and machine potential to drive business growth, innovation, and sustainable success. BMC does this in a simple and optimized way by connecting people, systems, and data that power the world’s largest organizations so they can seize a competitive advantage.

We’re looking for an experienced Data Scientist to join our Intelligent z Optimization & Transformation team (IZOT), specially for the AMI Platform team. This role will be fully remote in the US. We’re unable to offer visa sponsorship at this stage.

In this role, you will design and build enterprise-grade Machine Learning and Generative AI solutions that solve complex business challenges. You'll work hands-on with LLMs, RAG architecture, prompt engineering, and agentic AI frameworks, while defining how these systems are evaluated, optimized, and deployed in production environments.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of Data Science experience, with proven expertise in Machine Learning and Generative AI.
• B.Sc. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience working with Large Language Models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Llama, or equivalent), with familiarity across different LLM architectures.
• Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), LLM evaluation, and AI application development.
• Experience designing performance metrics and evaluation frameworks for AI/ML systems.
• Familiarity with agentic frameworks and agent-based workflows using LangGraph, LangChain, or CrewAI.
• Strong proficiency in writing Python backend APIs (using FastAPI, Flask or similar) and in data science libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Strong knowledge of statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, data mining, and machine learning techniques.
• Experience querying and analyzing data using SQL and modern data platforms.
• Proficiency in data exploration and data visualization techniques and tools.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as OpenShift (OCP) and AWS.
• Self-starter with intellectual curiosity; self-learner, flexible, and able to work in a multi-tasked and dynamic environment.
• Excellent communication skills, with demonstrated ability to explain complex technical concepts and predictive analytics to non-technical audiences.

Requirements

• Design and develop Machine Learning and Generative AI solutions for complex business problems, applying statistical analysis, data mining, and machine learning techniques.
• Apply prompt engineering, RAG, and LLM evaluation in end-to-end AI application development.
• Work on complex problems where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of several factors.
• Collaborate with domain experts to understand business requirements and formulate data-driven solutions.
• Deliver solutions to enterprise-grade quality standards: rigorous, validated, reproducible, and ready for mission-critical use.
• Define and implement evaluation frameworks for agent accuracy, task completion, reliability, and user satisfaction.
• Develop benchmarks, test datasets, and performance metrics for agentic AI systems.
• Contribute to AI governance, model validation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Implement strategies for model optimization, considering the constraints and requirements of mainframe environments.
• Support packaging and deployment of models and AI solutions into production environments.
• Explain complex technical concepts and predictive analytics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Contribute to code reviews, technical documentation, and best practices.
