  • Apply natural language processing, statistical modeling, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, embeddings, classification, anomaly detection, forecasting, and optimization techniques to complex enterprise data sets
  • Build reusable models, data pipelines, APIs, feature workflows, prompt libraries, automation components, dashboards, and integration patterns across technology, risk, operations, and platform domains
  • Support the full model lifecycle, including use case intake, data preparation, model training, model selection, validation readiness, deployment, monitoring, ongoing performance review, and remediation planning
  • Provide analytical and technical challenge to AI/ML solutions by assessing model design, assumptions, limitations, performance, controls, explainability, and implementation risks
  • Partner with infrastructure, data science, model risk, cyber/risk, architecture, operations, and product teams to define requirements, success metrics, delivery plans, governance artifacts, and operational handoff criteria
  • Develop production-grade code, reusable documentation, model artifacts, validation evidence, test automation, and implementation procedures aligned to enterprise engineering and governance standards
  • Advance MLOps, CI/CD, version control, model serving, workflow orchestration, monitoring, and hybrid cloud deployment practices for AI-enabled infrastructure services
  • Communicate technical findings, model outcomes, operational impact, implementation risks, and tradeoffs clearly to engineering teams, senior stakeholders, governance partners, and cross-functional leaders


Required Qualifications
  • 15+ years of experience delivering data science, software engineering, analytics, automation, platform engineering, risk analytics, cloud engineering, SRE, or infrastructure technology solutions
  • 7+ years of hands-on experience applying AI/ML, NLP, statistical modeling, predictive analytics, optimization, or quantitative methods to enterprise business, risk, technology, or operational problems
  • Strong Python programming skills and practical experience with data science, machine learning, or NLP libraries such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers, Gensim, or equivalent tools
  • Experience with the end-to-end model lifecycle, including model ideation, data preparation, training, selection, validation, deployment, ongoing monitoring, performance review, and governance documentation
  • Experience developing NLP, text analytics, classification, embeddings, recommendation, key driver analysis, network analysis, anomaly detection, or predictive modeling solutions
  • Experience creating model documentation, validation evidence, implementation procedures, monitoring plans, governance artifacts, or peer review materials in a large enterprise environment
  • Working knowledge of APIs, data pipelines, relational databases, SQL, dashboards, visualization tools, automation frameworks, version control, CI/CD, observability, and production support practices
  • Ability to analyze complex structured and unstructured data, identify patterns, convert insights into engineering action, and quantify business or operational impact through metrics and reporting
  • Demonstrated experience working in Agile delivery environments using tools such as Jira, Kanban boards, Confluence, and related delivery or documentation platforms
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain model behavior, technical findings, operational risks, governance requirements, and implementation tradeoffs to technical and executive audiences
  • Highly motivated, self-directed, and comfortable operating across multiple initiatives in a large, matrixed, geographically distributed technology organization
