Job Responsibilities:
* Lead end-to-end delivery of machine learning and AI solutions for complex Payments and Banking Operations challenges, from discovery to production rollout and lifecycle management.
* Develop innovative ML-based solutions, including GenAI and agentic approaches, and define evaluation, safety, and monitoring strategies for production use.
* Own production deployment patterns, including containerization, CI/CD, automated testing, model registries, governance, monitoring, alerting, and rollback strategies.
* Architect and deploy scalable, reliable, and secure ML services integrated with strategic platforms and downstream consumers (APIs, batch, streaming), meeting SLAs and SLOs.
* Partner with product, operations, risk/control, and technology teams to influence roadmaps, align on requirements, and deliver data-driven transformations.
* Establish reusable, modular data science and machine learning capabilities and patterns scalable across multiple use cases.
* Provide technical leadership and mentorship through code reviews, design reviews, best practices, and upskilling across data science and engineering partners.
* Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating model outputs into actionable decisions and operational plans.
* Maintain strong documentation for approaches, model cards, runbooks, and operational procedures.
Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:
* Master’s degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Data Science, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics) or Bachelor’s degree with equivalent relevant experience.
* Deep understanding of machine learning and AI fundamentals, with strong applied data analysis skills and experience with rigorous evaluation and measurement in real-world settings.
* Proven experience deploying and operating machine learning models in production at scale, including observability, reliability, incident management, and continuous improvement.
* Proficiency in Python software engineering, including production-grade, modular OOP design, testing, performance tuning, and debugging.
* Familiarity with MLOps and distributed systems, including training and serving patterns, batch and real-time architectures, feature stores, orchestration, and scalable data processing.
* Ability to design evaluations aligned with business goals, including offline and online alignment and guardrails for unintended outcomes.
* Experience working in regulated environments with awareness of model risk, controls, privacy, security, and audit-ready documentation.
* Strong problem-solving, communication, stakeholder management, and teamwork skills, with a results-driven mindset and client focus.
Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:
* Experience with NLP and/or GenAI (LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, tool/function calling, agentic workflows), including evaluation and safety patterns.
* Expertise with machine learning frameworks and data science packages (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn, NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, statsmodels).
* Experience deploying to AWS (e.g., SageMaker, Bedrock) and operating production workloads with attention to cost, performance, security, and scaling.
* Experience integrating human-in-the-loop or user feedback signals into iterative improvement processes.
