• Build COS Agents to automate Client Onboarding & Service workflows â document intake/QC, KYC data extraction, case summarization, and multi-step resolution.
• Develop LLM solutions using retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, prompt engineering, guardrails, and red-teaming to deliver reliable, explainable outcomes.
• Own end-to-end pipelines: data profiling, feature engineering, model development, evaluation, fairness/explainability, and production deployment in cloud and hybrid environments.
• Implement MLOps: version control, model registry, CI/CD, containerization, automated testing, monitoring, drift detection, and incident/rollback procedures.
• Leverage cloud data platforms: AWS (EKS, EC2, Lambda), query engines (Starburst/Trino), data warehouses (Redshift), and graph databases (Neptune).
• Ensure governance & compliance â enforce data access controls, privacy requirements, secure compute, and lineage throughout the model lifecycle.
• Drive adoption: run A/B tests, capture user feedback, mentor junior team members, and champion responsible AI practices.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• 7â10 years building and deploying ML models in production, ideally in banking, payments, or similarly regulated domains.
• Strong Python & SQL; proficiency with pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, and at least one deep learning framework (PyTorch or TensorFlow); solid software engineering practices.
• MLOps experience: containerization/orchestration, experiment tracking, model registries, monitoring, drift detection, and structured change management.
• Cloud fluency: AWS services (EKS, EC2, Lambda), distributed query engines, and data warehousing.
• Stakeholder management: proven ability to translate banking workflows and commercial objectives into technical requirements; strong communication across front office, Product, risk, compliance, and technology.
• Data governance awareness: familiarity with KYC/AML context and model risk frameworks.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting Global Banking & Payments and COS stakeholders.
• Hands-on with LLMs and agentic systems: RAG, structured outputs, tool use, guardrails/safety, and evaluation frameworks.
• Experience with graph analytics, NLP, and time-series modeling for prospecting, network analysis, and forecasting.
• Familiarity with feature stores, A/B testing, and performance/cost optimization at scale.
• Advanced degree in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or quantitative Finance/Economics) or equivalent experience.
