As the Data Science team in Global Infrastructure Product Services embarks on building and deploying advanced data science and machine learning (ML) models, we are looking for a senior data scientist to build, deploy, and monitor models in production. This is an individual contributor role with responsibilities ranging from hands-on coding, debugging, and documentation to stakeholder management and presentations.
A successful data scientist knows that delivering on that promise takes foresight, planning, and agility. We are seeking data scientists who are not only technically adept but also understand the importance of harnessing the power of data to streamline financial operations, enhance decision-making, and improve business outcomes.
This team is focused on developing and maintaining dynamic technology infrastructure cost allocation and production models. The financial forecasting models will help ensure that our technology spending is transparent, efficient, and properly aligned with our strategic objectives. The role requires a blend of technical prowess in data engineering, data science, MLOps, and an understanding of enterprise infrastructure components & their economics.
If you are a pioneer in developing and continuously evolving data science models in production that drive and monitor infrastructure and cost consumption analysis, you'll find a fit in our Data Science team in Global Infrastructure Product Services. To succeed in this newly forming team, you’ll need to be comfortable navigating ambiguity to stand up solutions 0à1 while discovering and leveraging enterprise platforms and best practices.
Here’s just some of what you’ll do:
Design and build scalable solutions using AI and Machine Learning (Generative AI, Natural Language Processing, Reinforcement Learning, and Time Series predictions) in financial forecasting and optimizing infrastructure resource utilization to help further mature our FinOps and AIOps framework.
Own the model building and refining from identifying business problems, collecting training dataset, analyzing data, modeling, validating to delivering production-grade solutions at scale.
Drive high-level and detailed technical design conversations and reviews.
Be responsible for health and quality of the code across the portfolio, including leadership over innovation, functional testing, and CI/CD tool integration.
Work closely with stakeholders across Technology, Finance, and business unit portfolio leaders to define scope, requirements, and incorporate cost drivers, allocation methods, and infrastructure nuances.
Ensure best practices are aligned with Enterprise Architecture and ML COEs.
Develop SQL queries, scripts, and routines to automate data processing and enhance the model’s accuracy and efficiency.
Generate insightful data visualization and reports to aid in decision-making.
Lead training sessions and create comprehensive documentation to empower end-users to leverage the cost model effectively.
Provide technical mentorship to team members at junior levels.
Function as an active member of an agile team.
Are you up for the challenge? Here’s what you should have:
Master’s degree in Data Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related STEM fields.
3+ years full lifecycle product development and engineering leadership in highly available, highly scalable, and high throughput systems.
Demonstrated experience in building and owning data science solutions and pipelines within the MLOps ecosystem in at least 2 of the 3 major cloud platforms (Vertex AI, Azure Machine Learning, AWS Sagemaker).
Experience in automating, troubleshooting, and upgrading data & machine learning pipelines that allow model retraining and continuous monitoring.
Hands-on expertise with handling distributed (multi-tiered) systems and automated testing – unit and performance testing.
Demonstrated experience in building and deploying a diverse set of Machine Learning (GLM, GBM, Neural Networks) and NLP solutions at scale.
Proficiency and Hands-on Experience with Git, CI/CD tools, Elasticsearch, and a solution in each category: Orchestration, Container, Model Serving, Observability, and Feature Store.
Strong proficiency in programming with Python, Machine Learning libraries and APIs (TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, ScikitLearn, H20.ai, XGBoost).
Experience in deploying out-of-the-box LLMs and Generative AI solutions.
Experience in data visualization and observability with a focus on real-time serving and monitoring of time series data with alerts.
Thorough understanding of enterprise infrastructure technologies (Compute, Storage, Network, Mainframe) to inform model development.
Strong project management skills and effective stakeholder management skills, coupled with a continuous improvement mindset.
Excellent presentation and communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical choices in simple terms to a diverse audience.
Experience in Financial Services industry is preferred.
