An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Data Scientist and Artificial Intelligence Team Lead to join a forward-thinking organisation in Bangkok, where your expertise will shape the future of generative AI applications. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on collaboration, enjoys nurturing team growth, and is passionate about leveraging advanced data science techniques to drive business transformation.

What you'll do:

As a Data Scientist and Artificial Intelligence Team Lead based in Bangkok, you will be at the forefront of developing transformative AI-driven solutions. Your day-to-day activities will involve refining existing language models for generative applications, overseeing their deployment into production environments, and creating new models tailored to unique content generation needs. You will be responsible for mapping out detailed project roadmaps that guide your team through each phase of delivery while maintaining open lines of communication with both internal stakeholders and external technology partners. By designing agile workflows that promote efficiency and inclusivity, you will ensure timely completion of deliverables without compromising quality. Your analytical acumen will be essential as you gather critical datasets, apply sophisticated algorithms to solve pressing business problems, and translate complex findings into actionable strategies for senior leadership. Success in this role hinges on your ability to foster collaboration within your team, communicate effectively across departments, and maintain a keen focus on delivering value through every stage of the data science lifecycle.

• Adjust pre-trained language models for generative artificial intelligence applications by fine-tuning parameters and optimising performance based on specific business needs.
• Oversee the release process of LLMs and associated pipelines, ensuring they are robustly tested and aligned with organisational requirements before deployment.
• Develop bespoke large language models tailored for various content creation tasks, collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify use cases and deliver impactful solutions.
• Create comprehensive roadmaps for data science initiatives by defining clear milestones, resource allocations, and timelines that support overall business strategy.
• Design effective agile workflows that enable efficient management of deliverables within time and resource constraints while fostering an inclusive team environment.
• Act as a liaison between key stakeholders—including business leaders and external AI suppliers—to ensure mutual understanding of project requirements and expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
• Work collaboratively with external technology partners to guarantee alignment between evolving project goals and available technological capabilities.
• Identify, source, and curate relevant datasets required for artificial intelligence projects by working closely with data owners across the organisation.
• Apply advanced machine learning, deep learning, and data-mining techniques to address complex business challenges and provide actionable insights that inform product or channel improvements.
• Present key findings, recommendations, and strategic plans to senior management in a clear manner that bridges technical detail with business relevance.

What you bring:

To excel as a Data Scientist and Artificial Intelligence Team Lead in this organisation’s Bangkok office, you will bring not only technical proficiency but also strong interpersonal qualities that encourage teamwork and knowledge sharing. Your background should include substantial experience managing end-to-end data science projects—ideally within retail or e-commerce settings—where you have demonstrated an aptitude for balancing technical rigour with practical business considerations. A deep familiarity with large language model development is essential; you should be comfortable navigating both the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning algorithms as well as their real-world implementation using modern programming languages like Python. Your ability to work seamlessly with big data platforms will allow you to extract meaningful patterns from vast information sources. Beyond technical skills, your capacity for empathetic communication ensures that complex findings are accessible to all stakeholders regardless of their technical background. A commitment to ongoing learning—whether through formal training or informal collaboration—will help you stay ahead in this rapidly evolving field while contributing positively to the team’s collective success.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Management Information Systems or a related field provides a strong academic foundation for this role.
• Native Thai speaker with fluency in English ensures effective communication across local teams and international partners.
• At least three years’ proven experience as a Data Scientist with significant exposure to project management responsibilities demonstrates your capability to lead complex initiatives (experience in retail or e-commerce sectors is highly desirable).
• A minimum of two years’ hands-on experience working specifically as an LLM Data Scientist highlights your expertise in developing large language models for practical applications.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python (including libraries such as Pandas, Numpy, SparkSQL) enables you to manipulate high-volume datasets efficiently from diverse sources.
• Familiarity with big data technologies like Hadoop, Apache Spark or Databricks equips you to handle complex data processing tasks at scale.
• Demonstrated experience applying machine learning frameworks (such as TensorFlow, Keras or Scikit-learn) allows you to build robust predictive models tailored to business needs.
• Solid grounding in statistics supports your ability to interpret results accurately and make informed recommendations based on empirical evidence.
• Experience using data visualisation tools such as Tableau or PowerBI is considered an advantage when presenting insights to non-technical audiences.
• Excellent communication skills empower you to convey intricate technical concepts clearly while fostering positive relationships within multidisciplinary teams.
