About the AI Data Implementation Team
The AI Data Implementation Team is responsible for building, executing, and governing the systems, data and workflows that ingest, enrich, validate, and benchmark unstructured data and LLM logic at scale to support AI investment use cases. The team applies Bridgewater’s world class systems thinking to operationalize the complex datasets needed to develop an ecosystem of ML/LLM driven workflows. Our mission is to collect, validate, and augment data that truly reflects the thinking of investment experts, transforming it into the foundation for next-generation ML and LLM models.

About the Role

Data Partners are scrappy problem solvers who turn complex ideas about model evaluation and human judgment into production-grade data pipelines. Working side-by-side with senior investors, ML scientists, Data Leads, and technologists, you’ll construct and maintain the datasets, transformations, and metrics that power our LLM benchmark suites. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who loves clean data, reproducible systems, and tight iteration loops — a mix of engineering craft and analytical curiosity.

You Will Drive the Following Responsibilities

Data Partners handle the unstructured yet detailed data work, enabling researchers to focus on generating/testing investment insights. In our AI Data Team, Data Partners will mostly work with unstructured content and LLM pipeline data and be responsible for:

Understanding: Start by understanding the business goals. Data Partners draw out expertise from the researcher or other SMEs to inform their approach.
Acquiring: Finding data and getting it into researchers’ hands. You will be capable of scraping websites, using APIs, and wrangling the data from how it exists externally to the structure needed by the project. Data Partners conduct data profiling and sanity checks to pull forward problems with quality and coverage.
Investigating: Data Partners investigate and analyze details of the data, based on previously known challenges and reacting to problems researchers uncover.
Improving: Data Partners improve and extend the dataset, applying logic to fix issues, pulling in more related data, longer history, or keeping it up to date as project evolves.
Hardening: Through time, you will harden the asset, e.g. make it more efficient to update, systemize validations to maintain quality through time, and standardize to make it easier to use with other data.
Developing: Apply techniques to standardize unstructured content to make it easier to find and use the most relevant content
Building: Benchmark data sets and use them to continually evaluate LLM systems.
Enable: Work with LLM system traces to enable diagnosability and process improvements.

Required Qualifications

Strong ownership of data quality. Capable of precise and detailed review when necessary to complement systematic validations.
Communicates clearly, seeks context, and enjoys cross-functional collaboration.
3–5 years of experience in data analysis, data engineering, or ML ops roles.
Fluent in Python, Excel and SQL. Familiar with frontier LLMs and code assist tools.
Experience with model evaluation or ML workflows a plus.
Bonus: familiarity with financial or macroeconomic datasets.
4-year degree from an accredited undergraduate institution majoring in engineering, mathematics, statistics, or related field.

Location Requirements

The anticipated onsite requirement for this role is four days per week onsite at our New York City campus with occasional travel to our Westport, CT offices.

Compensation Band

The expected annual total compensation salary for this position is $200 – $400K inclusive of base salary and discretionary bonus. The expected base salary for this role is between 75-85% of the range.

Our Culture

Our culture is anchored in excellence, meaning constant improvement, and it is deeply tied to our mission. Because markets are objective, competitive, and getting smarter everyday, we need to keep rapidly improving to have any chance of beating them. Truth is our most essential tool for engaging with the markets and constantly improving because once you know what's true about your problems and opportunities, you can determine how to get better. Valuing truth means being transparent about your decision-making and mistakes, giving and receiving feedback with humility, and fighting for the best answers over hierarchy, ego, or self-interest. Operating this way is hard – it's only possible because we build meaning in our work and relationships. This meaning comes from the audacity of the mission, and the joy of working alongside people who make you a better version of yourself. The culture, like Bridgewater itself, is always evolving. In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a Philosophy Statement which remains our foundation. This later evolved into a set of 300+ Principles. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re-underwrote several of those principles and evolved others, with a specific focus on Meritocracy. Today the culture sits, alongside our people, as our most important edge. When we get it right, it’s the engine that powers everything else.
