  • Integrate and optimize LLM services: prompt engineering, RAG, evaluation, and cost management
  • Collaborate on quantitative projects: pricing models, risk analysis, statistical modeling, and simulation
  • Implement and evaluate ML models; support experimentation, validation, and performance analysis
  • Build supporting data infrastructure: ETL pipelines, vector databases, data quality frameworks
  • Contribute to AI platform architecture: cost tracking, usage monitoring, and access control
  • Evaluate AI/ML tools, frameworks, and cloud services; recommend build-vs-buy decisions
  • Create technical documentation and architecture diagrams
  • Support AI governance and compliance in a regulated banking environment

Role Characteristics

  • Reports to Head of AI & Automation
  • In-office Monday–Friday; normal core hours are 9–4 with flexibility
  • Balance rapid prototyping with production-quality engineering
  • Work in sprints with clear deliverables using Lean and agile practices

Qualifications / Requirements

  • Experience or coursework in machine learning, statistical modeling, or applied mathematics
  • Familiarity with ML frameworks (scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow) and data libraries (pandas, NumPy, SciPy)
  • LLM integration, prompt engineering, and RAG experience valued
  • Data pipeline experience (Airflow, dbt, or equivalent) a plus
  • Familiarity with cloud AI services (Azure AI, AWS Bedrock) and containerization (Docker)
  • Working knowledge of SQL; vector database experience a plus
  • Understanding of API design and system integration patterns
  • Effective communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences
