  • Strong knowledge of LLM frameworks and libraries (such as transformers, trl, deepspeed, PyTorch), and exposure to various ML techniques and their practical implementation in production at large scale
  • Experience building and deploying solutions on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Experience on distributed, high throughput and low latency architectures
  • Strong fundamentals in NLP techniques for text representation, semantic extraction techniques, data structures and modeling
  • Experience building software on top of major container technology (Kubernetes, Docker etc.)
  • Knowledge of version control using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps
  • Solid understanding of data engineering concepts and working with large-scale datasets
  • Experience implementing ML Ops practices and production-grade AI systems
  • Familiarity with data privacy, model governance, and responsible AI principles

• Nice to have:
  • Experience and Knowledge of Finance Domain: Understanding of finance concepts, workflows, or platforms is a strong asset for this role along with Knowledge of financial processes such as close, consolidation, reporting, and audit
  • Exposure to regulatory and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOX, GDPR, model risk management)
  • Experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and finance data ecosystems
  • Experience defining system architecture and exploring technical feasibility tradeoffs is a plus
  • Strong understanding of AI risk, explainability, and auditability
  • Familiarity with end-to-end application development using full stack is a plus
