Ideally, you’ll also have
Partner with Development, Engineering, Product, Data, Architecture, and project leadership teams to deliver high-value AI capabilities. Ability to build and maintain model observability pipelines including tracing of multi-step agentic reasoning chains, output degradation detection, and behavioral drift monitoring in production (e.g. LangSmith, Arize, Datadog, Azure Monitor etc.). Familiarity with LLM fine-tuning approaches including instruction tuning and preference optimization, with an understanding of when fine-tuning is appropriate versus prompt-based solutions (e.g.
LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, NeMo Framework etc.). Familiarity with responsible AI principles including bias and fairness evaluation, human-in-the-loop design, and explainability approaches in the financial services contexts. Familiarity with data pipeline design for AI workloads including ingestion, transformation, and quality validation. Familiarity with cloud-based platforms for building, training, and deploying scalable LLM solutions (e.g. Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI etc.).
Familiarity with AI-assisted software engineering tools for accelerating development, implementation, and code review practices (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex etc.).
Strong grounding in traditional AI/ML and deep learning fundamentals, including supervised and unsupervised learning, feature engineering, model evaluation, neural network architectures, and training trade-offs, with the ability to apply these concepts when shaping enterprise AI solutions.
