Your work will support various business capabilities, including:

  • Digital banking product features (e.g., smart financial recommendations)
  • Business operations optimization
  • Growth, go-to-market, and customer engagement strategies
  • Fraud detection and risk management functions
  • Improving efficiency of technical operations within the business

  • 3-5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years deploying machine learning models in production environments at scale.
  • Familiarity with tools in the PyData ecosystem (Numpy, Scipy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • Extensive experience with cloud technologies, particularly GCP (VertexAI, BigQuery).
  • Proficiency with Kubernetes and container orchestration.
  • Experience with Kubeflow or similar ML-specific orchestration tools.
  • Experience with big data / distributed processing systems.

Knowledge and Expertise

  • Demonstrated understanding of theoretical foundations underpinning machine learning and deep learning models, coupled with extensive hands-on experience solving real-world problems.
  • Strong understanding of ML model monitoring, versioning, and A/B testing in production environments.

Soft Skills

  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in the retail banking sector.
  • Contributions to open-source ML or data engineering projects.
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers or data scientists.
  • Proven track record of improving ML infrastructure efficiency and scalability.

Stand-out Qualities

  • Strong portfolio of relevant projects (e.g., well-maintained GitHub repositories)
  • Active participation in the data science community (giving talks, attending meetups)
  • Demonstrated thought leadership (blog posts, articles, or contributions to open-source projects)
  • Self-motivated with a track record of initiating and completing projects

The ideal candidate will bring a wealth of experience in MLOps, demonstrating not just technical proficiency but also the ability to drive best practices, mentor team members, and contribute to the strategic direction of our ML infrastructure.
