Position Overview:

PNC is seeking a Quantitative Analytics & Model Development Consultant to join our Machine Learning Operationalization (MLOps) team. This role is responsible for designing, developing, and supporting scalable Data, AI and machine learning solutions that enable advanced analytics across the enterprise.

The successful candidate will combine expertise in data engineering, cloud infrastructure, Dev Ops, and MLOps to help support and design analytical and machine learning solutions in development and production environments. This individual will partner closely with data scientists, technology teams, business stakeholders, and lines of business to ensure solutions are reliable, scalable, secure, and operationally efficient.

Key Responsibilities:

- Model Deployment:
Partner with data scientists to move machine learning and analytical models from development into production, including packaging, integration, testing, and deployment.

- ML Pipelines and Automation:
Build and maintain automated, reusable pipelines (CI/CD) for model training, scoring, deployment, and retraining, using cloud and infrastructure-as-code tools where applicable.

- Data and Feature Engineering:
Develop scalable data pipelines and reusable data and feature products that provide reliable, high-quality inputs to models.

- Model Monitoring and Analytics:
Develop model monitoring and analytic frameworks that can be scaled to support many models, tracking performance, stability, data drift.

- AI Agent Development:
Design and build AI agents and agentic workflows using large language models (LLMs), including prompt design, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool and API integration, and orchestration.

- AI Agent Testing and Evaluation:
Develop testing and evaluation frameworks for AI agents covering accuracy, consistency, hallucinations, bias, and security risks (e.g., prompt injection), and support user acceptance testing (UAT).

- AI Agent Implementation:
Deploy AI agents into production with appropriate guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, and logging, and monitor their quality, usage, and cost over time.

- Business Impact Measurement:
Measure the business value of deployed models and AI solutions by defining success metrics, setting baselines, and tracking actual results (e.g., lift, loss reduction, efficiency gains) against expected outcomes.

- Stakeholder Partnership:
Work with data scientists, model owners, technology teams, and lines of business to understand requirements and deliver reliable, scalable solutions.

Required Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in data science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.

- Build scalable frameworks and reusable components for developing, integrating, testing, and deploying ML models and AI agents across the data science lifecycle

- Experience supporting machine learning, analytics, Dev Ops, or MLOps environments.

- Experience deploying and supporting analytical or machine learning solutions in enterprise environments.

- Programming/Coding experience in Python, SQL, R, or PySpark.
