Lead the design, development, and deployment of scalable machine learning models for high-impact fintech applications, driving the full ML lifecycle—from research and data exploration to training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring. Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and product teams to translate complex business challenges into machine learning solutions that support product and business objectives. Build, maintain, and optimize robust ML systems that meet performance, scalability, and reliability standards in a production environment. Continuously monitor and enhance model performance through experimentation, hyperparameter tuning, and iteration to align with evolving business needs. Utilize distributed computing frameworks and cloud-native platforms to develop and maintain data pipelines, feature stores, model serving infrastructure, and MLOps workflows. Evaluate, adopt, and implement state‑of‑the‑art AI/ML tools, frameworks, and methodologies to ensure technical excellence and competitive advantage. Champion responsible AI practices by ensuring models comply with regulatory and ethical standards, focusing on explainability, fairness, bias mitigation, and auditability. Stay current with emerging trends and innovations in AI, ML, software engineering, and scalable deployment to keep systems at the cutting edge. Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, or a related technical field. 6+ years of experience in machine learning, including 3+ years in senior or staff-level roles. Expert proficiency in Python (or similar languages) and experience with ML libraries and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn. Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), ML infrastructure tools (e.g., SageMaker, Vertex AI, MLflow), distributed computing (e.g., Spark, Kubernetes), and data workflow tools (e.g., Pandas, Airflow). Proven track record of designing, building, and deploying end-to-end ML systems at scale in production. Strong background in performance optimization, version control, CI/CD, and managing the ML model lifecycle in real-world applications. Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready solutions that meet business goals.
