Generative AI solutions with a focus on reliability, performance, security, and
business value.
Champion an automation-first approach to software and AI engineering,
identifying opportunities to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual
processes.
Build and operationalize machine learning models and AI-enabled
applications throughout the entire model lifecycle, from experimentation to
production deployment and monitoring.
Develop and deploy Generative AI applications in production environments,
preferably within financial services or other highly regulated industries.
Apply and advocate Responsible AI principles, ensuring solutions meet
requirements for fairness, explainability, transparency, privacy, security, and
compliance.
Perform model risk evaluations, complete required governance
documentation and questionnaires, and partner with stakeholders to address
and remediate identified risks.
Establish and maintain frameworks for MLOps, model lifecycle
management, monitoring, validation, version control, auditability, and AI
governance.
Collaborate with Risk, Compliance, Information Security, and business
partners to ensure machine learning solutions meet enterprise and regulatory
standards.
Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, model monitoring,
observability, and production support processes for machine learning
applications.
Evaluate emerging machine learning and AI technologies and recommend
appropriate adoption strategies.
Mentor team members on best practices in machine learning engineering,
MLOps, Responsible AI, and production AI systems.
Required Qualifications
Extensive experience designing, developing, and deploying machine learning
solutions in production environments.
Hands-on experience developing and deploying Generative AI applications
using Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation
(RAG), vector databases, and modern AI development frameworks.
Strong understanding of machine learning model development, feature
engineering, model evaluation, performance optimization, and model
monitoring.
Experience conducting model risk assessments and supporting governance,
compliance, and validation requirements within regulated environments.
Practical experience implementing MLOps practices including model
deployment, versioning, monitoring, automated retraining, and CI/CD
pipelines.
Strong understanding of Responsible AI, model explainability, governance,
and risk management concepts.
Proficiency in Python and modern machine learning ecosystems, including
frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, LangChain, Semantic
Kernel, or equivalent technologies.
Strong communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills.
