Job description
Join the core team at Eclipse, where we’re building an AI agent-first marketplace that connects intelligence with real-world tasks, starting with data collection and labeling. We are seeking a Data Scientist to establish the foundation for how our data is labeled, processed, and prepared for consumption by next-generation Large Language Models (LLMs). Your work will be critical in transforming our raw data collections into valuable, AI-ready datasets.
Qualifications
Proven experience as a Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer with a focus on data quality and preparation.
Strong understanding of data labeling methodologies and hands-on experience with data annotation platforms and workflows.
Demonstrated experience preparing datasets for training and fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs), including knowledge of techniques like tokenization, embeddings, and NER.
Proficiency in Python and common data science libraries (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, spaCy, Hugging Face).
Experience using APIs/SDKs to automate data annotation and active learning loops.
Excellent communication skills, with an ability to create clear documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.
Responsibilities
Develop Data Labeling Strategies: Design and document a formal data annotation strategy, including clear, scalable, and efficient guidelines for labeling our data. Define and enforce quality metrics, including inter-annotator agreement.
Optimize for LLM Consumption: Research, define, and prototype the optimal data formats, structures, and pre-processing steps required for fine-tuning and training LLMs on our datasets.
Data Quality Analysis: Establish automated processes and metrics to analyze the quality of both raw and labeled data, providing feedback to improve our data collection and labeling workflows.
Collaborate with Engineering: Work closely with the engineering team to guide the implementation of data processing pipelines and ensure the data infrastructure meets the needs of ML applications.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with audio data processing and relevant libraries.
Familiarity with data annotation platforms and tools.
Knowledge of modern MLOps principles and practices.
Experience with large language model data curation and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) pipelines.
