• Oversee the development of robust data and inference pipelines in Python and SQL; integrate agents with APIs, microservices, BI/reporting tools, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Leverage vector databases, embeddings, and distributed compute frameworks (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, PySpark) for efficient retrieval and performance optimization.
• Drive research and development initiatives, exploring Gen AI, Agentic AI, and autonomous workflow patterns.
• Mentor and upskill teams; deliver enablement materials, documentation, and best practices for AI adoption.
• Foster a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
• Translate model outputs into user‑friendly insights and analytics for end users, enabling data‑driven decision making.

• 8+ years in data/ML roles, including 4+ years building and operating production ML applications; hands‑on experience with LLMs.
• Strong Python and SQL.
• Practical knowledge of RAG, prompt engineering, fine‑tuning, function/tool calling, and vector stores.
• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern data stacks (e.g., Databricks or Snowflake).
• Familiarity with LLM frameworks and orchestration (e.g., Lang Chain or Llama Index) and REST/Graph
  
  QL API design.
• Proficiency in analytics and applied statistics; ability to design experiments and evaluate business impact.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management; comfort working across Finance, Technology, and Operations.

• Experience building multi‑agent systems, autonomous workflows, or task planners.
• Knowledge of model safety, bias, and privacy techniques; experience with model risk management and governance.
• Exposure to observability tools (logging, tracing, telemetry) and A/B testing.
• Background integrating agents with BI/reporting and workflow tools; familiarity with Tableau or similar is a plus.
• Experience with GPUs/accelerators, containerization, and infrastructure‑as‑code.
• Experience with PySpark or distributed compute.

• 90 days: deliver a pilot finance agent with RAG and evaluation metrics, integrated with key data sources and APIs.
• 6 months: scale agents across multiple workflows, establish guardrails and monitoring, and demonstrate clear improvements in cycle time, accuracy, or user satisfaction.
