Job Description

What is the opportunity?

We are looking for a highly motivated and technically skilled individual to join our team as a Manager, Data Analytics & Machine Learning. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career professional who is eager to apply data science and software engineering skills in real-world scenarios. In this role, you will work closely with team members to support the implementation and delivery of advanced analytics solutions—including both Generative AI (GenAI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL)—to enhance efficiency, automation, and business value in daily risk management workflows.

What will you do?

Participate in the end-to-end development of high-impact AI solutions, from idea design and PoC to production deployment.Work closely with business users to understand their needs, translate business use cases into practical technical problems, and iterate on solutions based on feedback.Focus on building real-world applications that address business challenges, rather than conducting pure research.Continuously learn and keep up with the latest advancements in AI and related technologies, sharing knowledge with the team.Present technical solutions and project updates to both technical peers and senior managements.

What do you need to succeed?

Must Have:

Hands-on experience prototyping GenAI applications, including working with foundational LLMs (e.g., GPT models via API) and transformer models (e.g., Hugging Face Transformers); familiarity with frameworks and tools (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Haystack), and vector databases (e.g., Weaviate, PGVector).Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, including designing and refining prompts to optimize LLM outputs.Hands-on experience developing modular, robust, and scalable software in Python 3.x.Knowledge of modular RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and agentic systems.Knowledge of professional software engineering best practices across the software development lifecycle, including coding standards, testing methods, code reviews, and version control.Knowledge of machine learning and deep learning algorithms (e.g., supervised methods such as decision trees, gradient boosting, deep neural networks; unsupervised methods such as clustering and dimensionality reduction), as well as natural language processing techniques (e.g., TF-IDF, transformer models, embedding models).Demonstrated willingness and ability to quickly learn and adapt to new advancements in ML/DL/GenAI.Strong logical thinking skills and attention to detail.Effective communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented attitude.A master’s degree or higher degree in computer science, engineering, statistics, or a related field.

Nice-to-have

Knowledge of embedding model fine-tuning, Model Context Protocol (MCP), LLM performance evaluation.Experience deploying GenAI applications in production environments and supporting enterprise-scale use cases.Hands-on experience implementing solutions using modern ML/DL frameworks and tools, such as PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, or Hugging Face Transformers.Experience working in regulated or governed environments.Familiarity with financial risk management concepts.

What’s in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
