Data Scientist

Snapdocs is a rapidly growing company that is disrupting the residential mortgage market, bringing scalable and sophisticated software to a pillar of the US economy that still relies on fax machines and manila envelopes. Today, 20% of real estate transactions are processed through our platform. Our products rely on carefully designed workflows, AI-based automations, and empathetic user experiences to deliver best-in-class customer experiences. We are backed by investors like Sequoia, Y Combinator, and F-Prime. 

We are an innovative team. As we expand our product offering to serve more customers in more ways, we need to grow our team with smart, hungry, and curious people. That’s where you come in…

About the Role
Snapdocs is looking for a Data Scientist to help us improve and scale our Document Quality Control (QC) services. You’ll partner with our lead data scientists to develop and optimize solutions for document classification, information extraction, and annotation detection—across hundreds of document types.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll apply the latest in NLP and Generative AI to real-world use cases, helping us build reliable, intelligent systems that make sense of messy, unstructured document data.

What You’ll Do

• Improve the performance and generalizability of Document QC services, including classification, extraction, and annotation detection
• Apply and test cutting-edge generative AI methods to improve outcomes across varied document types
• Optimize model performance for new customer document sets
• Partner with DS Operations to ensure high-quality training and evaluation data
• Contribute to service repositories and help productionize models in collaboration with Engineering

Initial Priorities
Your first project will be either:

• Testing, implementing, and optimizing a general classification methodology on a new customer dataset
  or
• Deploying and refining an information extraction pipeline for a new customer use case

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years in data science, preferably working on ML-driven products
• Experience with a wide range of machine learning approaches, including LLMs and traditional supervised/unsupervised learning
• Background in document classification or information extraction (text and images)
• Experience collaborating with Product and Engineering to ship models into production

Technical Skills:

• Expert in Python and ML libraries (e.g., Scikit-learn, HuggingFace)
• Comfortable with SQL and working in production data pipelines
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Understanding of service architecture and working with APIs
• Familiar with CI/CD practices and software engineering fundamentals

Nice to Have:

• Experience with semantic similarity techniques (e.g., BERT, RAG) for classification
• Background in prompt engineering and LLM observability
• Experience monitoring model drift and performance post-deployment

Who You Are

• A collaborative, thoughtful problem solver
• Curious and passionate about ML, NLP, and Generative AI
• Comfortable working on ambiguous problems with imperfect data
• Driven to turn research into scalable, production-ready systems
