• Translate manual forecasting processes into scalable, auditable machine learning models that ensure interpretability, accuracy, and compliance. 

Generative AI  

• Build and optimize AI agents in AWS Bedrock to augment finance members’ workstreams to accelerate tasks related to revenue, bookings, and expenses. 

• Apply prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to extend and improve existing agentic systems. 

• Implement guardrails, compliance filters, and content moderation layers to ensure security and SOX-compliant AI operations. 

Data Engineering & Feature Development 

• Contribute to the migration and expansion of existing data pipelines into a new architecture that empowers the team’s centralized data initiatives. 

• Design and deploy feature engineering frameworks to capture temporal, behavioral, and financial signals critical for forecasting accuracy.

Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Partner with finance, IT, and operations teams to align data science solutions with business objectives. 

• Translate complex machine learning outcomes into actionable insights and compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences. 

Key Qualifications 

• 4+ years of experience in data science or applied ML, with at least 1 year focused on LLM/GenAI applications. 

• Proven expertise in time series forecasting, predictive modeling, and statistical analysis. 

• Advanced proficiency in Python, SQL, and ML libraries such as scikit-learn. 

• Hands-on experience automating data and analysis workflows in Python, from ingestion and feature generation to reporting and deployment. 

• Strong understanding of MLOps tools and cloud platforms (preferably AWS). 

• Familiarity with data engineering workflows, including ETL, orchestration, and feature pipelines. 

• Experience with finance datasets and compliance-aware modeling (SOX or similar). 

What Sets You Apart 

• Track record of building scalable, interpretable forecasting models that deliver measurable business impact. 

• Demonstrated success deploying LLM-based systems with performance monitoring and ethical safeguards. 

• Experience designing observability frameworks to monitor production models for drift and degradation. 

• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to bridge data science and business strategy. 

• A passion for the future of data science, continuously striving to learn and implement new techniques and technologies
