How You'll Make an Impact

You are an experienced technical leader and subject matter expert with a deep passion for AI, Machine Learning, and software engineering. You possess a proven track record of architecting scalable systems and solving complex ambiguity using data-driven tools. You will act as a force multiplier for the team-setting technical standards, mentoring junior engineers, and partnering with product leadership to turn abstract business goals into production-grade AI solutions.

Responsibilities

• Technical Strategy & Architecture: Partner with stakeholders to translate complex customer challenges into robust technical designs and AI strategies.

• End-to-End Ownership: Architect, build, and deploy high-performance AI/ML platforms and tools, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.

• Advanced Model Development: Lead the development, evaluation, fine-tuning, and monitoring of production-grade AI/ML models (including LLMs and RAG architectures).

• Operational Excellence: Design and standardize CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to ensure reproducible and automated deployments.

• Reliability & Scale: Proactively monitor system health, lead incident response for critical AI systems, and drive architectural refactoring to remove bottlenecks.

• Mentorship: Mentor L1/L2 engineers, conduct code reviews, and foster a culture of engineering excellence and best practices.

• Innovation: Evaluate emerging AI technologies/vendors and prototype new approaches to keep the organization at the cutting edge of the industry.

Experience You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience as an AI/ML Engineer, Data Scientist, or Software Engineer with a heavy focus on production ML systems.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field; a Master's or PhD in AI/ML is preferred.

• Production expertise: Proven track record of taking AI solutions from concept to high-scale production using Java, C#, GoLang, or Python.

• LLM Proficiency: Deep experience with Generative AI, including prompting strategies, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), fine-tuning, and agentic workflows.

• System Design: Strong ability to design distributed systems and microservices architectures for model serving.

• Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to lead technical discussions with non-technical stakeholders and drive consensus.

• Experience in the financial or fintech industry is a plus.

Technical Skills

• Expert proficiency in Python (preferred) or other core languages (Java, Go, C#).

• Deep knowledge of modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn) and LLM orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, vLLM).

• Advanced understanding of MLOps principles, feature stores, and model monitoring.

• Solid grasp of advanced probability, statistics, and linear algebra.

• Extensive hands-on experience with Kubernetes (deploying and managing clusters) and Cloud platforms (AWS preferred).

• Strong command of CI/CD methodologies and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

• Excellent data engineering skills (SQL, NoSQL, data lakes, and processing pipelines).
