Join a high‑impact technology team within Global Commercial Lending , focused on transforming core lending and payments BAU processes through AI, ML, and Generative AI solutions . This role offers a unique opportunity to design and productionize AI‑driven capabilities that deliver measurable efficiency gains , improved operational resilience, and smarter decisioning across large‑scale enterprise lending platforms. You will work closely with product, operations, and engineering teams to build, deploy, and scale ML and GenAI solutions embedded into mission‑critical platforms, while adhering to enterprise standards for security, compliance, and model governance . This position is responsible for designing, building, and operating AI/ML solutions end‑to‑end , with strong emphasis on MLOps, ML lifecycle management, and production readiness . Responsibilities Works across development teams to contribute to the story refinement and delivery of data requirements through the delivery life cycle. Leverages architecture components in solution development and codes solutions to integrate, clean, transform, and control data in operational and analytical data systems per acceptance criteria. Builds processes supporting data transformation, data structures, metadata, data quality controls, dependency, and workload management and defines and builds data pipelines and complex data sets to enable data‑informed decision making, identifying and raising risks at all stages of the data engineering process. Develops and executes test plans to produce quantitative results, contributes to existing test suites including integration, regression, and performance, analyzes test reports, identifies test issues and errors, and triages underlying causes. Drives complex information technology projects to ensure on‑time delivery and adheres to team delivery and release processes. Identifies, defines, and documents data engineering requirements, communicating required information for deployment, maintenance, support, and business functionality. Works with technology partners and a diverse set of stakeholders to identify and close gaps in data management standards adherence, negotiates paths forward, and helps identify and communicate solutions to complex data problems leveraging knowledge of information systems, techniques, and processes. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Management Information Systems, Engineering (any), or related. 6+ years overall experience in software engineering with strong hands‑on development in Python. 3+ years of hands‑on AI/ML experience, building and deploying machine learning models and Gen AI solutions using locally hosted LLMs in production environments. Proven experience productionizing ML models using MLflow and enterprise‑grade MLOps frameworks. Strong understanding of the end‑to‑end ML lifecycle: data preparation, feature engineering, training, validation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Experience building RESTful APIs and microservices to expose ML capabilities. Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation, and DevOps practices for ML and application workloads. Experience with containerization and deployment technologies (e.g., Openshift, Docker or equivalent enterprise platforms). Proficiency with version control and enterprise SDLC tools (Git/Bitbucket, Jenkins, pytest, SonarQube, Artifactory, etc.). Experience working in large, multi‑team enterprise environments with shared codebases and governance standards. Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills with ability to engage business and technical stakeholders. Desired Qualifications Experience applying GenAI / LLM‑based solutions (e.g., RAG, summarization, intelligent extraction) to operational and financial services use cases. Exposure to model governance, risk management, and compliance controls in regulated environments. Experience building reusable AI frameworks, utilities, or platforms that can be leveraged across multiple teams. Familiarity with databases, caches, and messaging platforms (e.g., Oracle, MongoDB, Redis, event‑driven architectures). Experience with cloud or hybrid enterprise AI platforms and observability tools.
