Job Description
Job Summary:We are seeking an accomplished Machine Learning Architect with 12 to 18 years of experience to lead the design and implementation of robust, scalable, and production-grade ML systems in the financial services domain. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise across the entire ML lifecycle from data ingestion and modeling to deployment, serving, and operationalization and a strong understanding of enterprise-level architecture and compliance considerations in the financial industry.
As an ML Architect, you will work cross-functionally with engineering, data science, product, and compliance teams to design end-to-end machine learning platforms and pipelines that power intelligent financial applications, such as fraud detection, credit scoring, customer analytics, and risk management.
Required Qualifications: - 12 to 18 years of experience in software engineering, machine learning, or data platform architecture, with at least 5 years in architecting end-to-end ML solutions.
- Proven experience in the financial domain, working with use cases such as fraud detection, risk scoring, AML, churn prediction, or credit modeling.
- Deep knowledge of computer science fundamentals, including:
- Data structures and algorithms
- Distributed systems
- High-availability and low-latency system design
- Strong programming and architectural experience with Python, and at least one of Java/Scala/C++.
- Expertise in ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn) and MLOps platforms (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI).
- Experience building and deploying RESTful APIs or microservices to serve ML models.
- Solid hands-on experience with data processing tools (e.g., Apache Spark, Kafka, Airflow) and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) for deploying scalable systems.
Preferred Qualifications: - Prior experience in ML architecture within financial institutions, fintech, or regulatory environments.
- Working knowledge of governance and compliance frameworks: model auditability, explainable AI (XAI), fairness and bias detection.
- Experience designing real-time inference and streaming-based ML systems.
- Understanding of feature stores, model registries, and data lineage in ML pipelines.
- Strong communication and leadership skills, capable of influencing C-level stakeholders and guiding engineering decisions across departments.
