Full Job Description
Location: Jersey City, NJ, United States
As a Senior Associate, Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer within our ASSET & WEALTH MANAGEMENT (AWM)
Job Responsibilities
- Contribute to the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of AI/ML and agentic AI systems from problem framing and experimentation through production, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
- Design and build agentic AI workflows and applications, including multi-step reasoning, tool use, orchestration, and LLM-based agents that automate and augment complex analytical and business processes.
- Help build and maintain scalable, reliable ML and agentic infrastructure and pipelines, applying strong software engineering practices (version control, testing, CI/CD, code review, modular design).
- Apply broad AI/ML methods including deep learning, generative AI/LLMs, and modern ML techniques to high-impact business problems in pricing, marketing, campaign targeting, and customer analytics.
- Contribute to technical standards and best practices, championing engineering excellence, reproducibility, and responsible AI/ML practices.
- Collaborate with data scientists and engineers, participating in code reviews and knowledge sharing, and supporting the mentoring of junior or intern staff as appropriate.
- Partner with product, business, and engineering teams to scope opportunities and communicate technical trade-offs and results to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Support and apply model validation, governance, monitoring, and risk-management frameworks for models and agents in production.
Required qualifications, skills and capabilities
- Solid experience (typically 4+ years) building, deploying, and scaling machine learning and AI systems in production environments.
- Strong, hands-on experience developing agentic AI systems including LLM-based agents, tool/function calling, multi-step reasoning, orchestration frameworks, and AI-assisted analytical workflows.
- Broad and deep expertise across modern AI/ML methods, including machine learning, deep learning, generative AI/LLMs, and statistical modeling.
- Deep, hands-on software engineering expertise: strong proficiency in Python (and/or other production languages), software design principles, testing, version control, CI/CD, and building production-grade code.
- Strong machine learning engineering skills, including experience with ML frameworks, model pipelines, feature stores, orchestration, and MLOps tooling.
- Strong quantitative training in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, Economics, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, or a related field.
- Proven experience with model validation, diagnostic testing, and careful interpretation of model performance.
- Demonstrated ability to own and deliver technical projects and collaborate effectively within a team.
- Excellent ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in ambiguous, real-world settings.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building and deploying advanced agentic AI platforms, multi-agent systems, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications at scale.
- Industry experience applying AI/ML to pricing, marketing, campaign targeting, personalization, or customer analytics.
- Understanding of causal inference fundamentals (e.g., confounding, selection bias, treatment effect estimation) and modern causal ML methods such as meta-learners, uplift models, causal forests, or double machine learning is a good-to-have.
- PhD or a Master's in Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Econometrics, or a related quantitative field is a plus.
