Product-Focused Data Scientist (LLM Products)
About this role
Translating the needs of political strategists into functional AI capabilities forms the core of daily operations for this data scientist. Working alongside engineers and product managers, this team member builds large language model tools that shape how progressive campaigns communicate and make strategic decisions. Responsibilities include prototyping agent workflows, designing evaluation systems, and ensuring AI features meet practical standards under real deadlines.
Blue Rose Research creates research technology for Democratic campaigns and advocacy groups across the country.

- Build evaluation frameworks and LLM-as-judge pipelines to test for accuracy and usefulness.
- Prototype concepts rapidly using coding agents prior to making final product commitments.
- Explain technical findings and architectural tradeoffs to both technical and nontechnical audiences.
What you need
