** About the Team:
** Lexis Nexis Legal & Professional, which serves customers in more than 150 countries with 11,800 employees worldwide, is part of RELX (), a global provider of information-based analytics and decision tools for professional and business customers. Our company has been a long-time leader in deploying AI and advanced technologies to the legal market to improve productivity and transform the overall business and practice of law, deploying ethical and powerful generative AI solutions with a flexible, multi-model approach that prioritizes using the best model from today’s top model creators for each individual legal use case.

The company employs over 2,000 technologists, data scientists, and experts to develop, test, and validate solutions in line with RELX Responsible AI Principles ().## ##

* About the Role:

** Join our team to help build state-of-the-art research tools. Our Data Science teams focus on extracting key information such as entities mentioned, sentiment analysis, data enrichments, predictive insights, and more to build best in class data and news streams relied on by our global customer base. Responsible for the end‑to‑end design and continuous evolution of a multimodal document understanding and structured data extraction platform: complex PDF / scanned page layout analysis, semantic extraction, structural reconstruction, quality validation, and business integration.

Leads multimodal model strategy (vision + language + layout) and multi‑agent collaboration (task decomposition, verification, conflict reconciliation, feedback loops) and plans future customized training and ongoing optimization of models.## ##
** Responsibilities:
*** Design and iterate the multimodal document parsing pipeline: layout / structural modeling, semantic extraction, cross‑modal alignment, structural reconstruction.
* Build and optimize a multi‑agent collaboration mechanism: task splitting, parallel / sequential scheduling, peer review, iterative quality improvement loops.
* Define model selection / composition / routing strategies (dynamic dispatch by document type, structural patterns, quality signals).
* Plan and execute model fine‑tuning, domain adaptation, continual learning, active learning, and data feedback loops.
* Establish end‑to‑end metrics: extraction accuracy, structural consistency, agent collaboration effectiveness, latency, stability, and cost.
* Build quality assurance and risk controls: drift & anomaly monitoring, confidence estimation, fallback strategies, alignment / compliance checks.
* Drive mapping and consistency between agent / model outputs and business knowledge field standards.## ##
** Requirements:
**
* Education:

Master’s degree or above in a quantitative or technical field (Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science, etc.).

* Experience:

5+ years of hands‑on machine learning / data science experience. Proven delivery experience in multimodal (vision + text) or complex document understanding. Practical cases of orchestrating agents (or modular processing logic) in production workflows.
* Capabilities:
Solid foundation in machine learning / deep learning fundamentals, multimodal representations, and cross‑modal alignment concepts. Deep understanding of core principles and common algorithms for multimodal large models: cross‑modal attention & representation alignment, vision/text embedding fusion, hierarchical & layout structure modeling, instruction & contrastive paradigms, long‑context and retrieval‑augmented mechanisms, evaluation and failure mode dissection. Familiar with classic image and signal processing methods: edge & contour detection, filtering & denoising, morphological operations, segmentation & key point feature extraction, frequency / time‑frequency analysis, image enhancement & quality assessment;

understands trade‑offs and complementarity with deep features. Knowledge of multi‑agent collaboration patterns: role assignment, task routing, feedback loops, redundancy & cross‑checks.…
