Your core mandate is to define the future of entity resolution at Sayari. Partnering with Engineering, you will own the AI/ML strategy, determining whether our path forward lies with LLMs, traditional machine learning, or a hybrid approach. You will build the business case for this new vision and transform complex customer problems into scalable, cost-effective data solutions.
