Title:Machine Learning / AI Contractor
Duration: Through 4/16/27
Location: Jersey City NJ
Responsibilities:
- Design and ship production pricing agents on NEO owning them from prototype through production as part of the firms federated portfolio of production agents.
- Build retrieval that holds up in production: Graph RAG combining knowledge-graph traversal over products rate cards clients and pricing policy with vector search plus chunking ranking and grounding strategies that keep price explanations accurate and auditable.
- Design agent memory: episodic and semantic memory organized as memory nodes with recall summarization and decay policies tuned per use case so an agent remembers the history of a negotiation without leaking it across clients.
- Own organizational context management assembling entitlement- lineage- and tenant-aware context so each agent reasons over only the pricing data it is allowed to see.
- Build and productionize ML model training pipelines for price optimization elasticity win-probability and deal-scoring models using MLOps best practices including feature engineering over billing transaction and deal history data on Databricks.
- Build batch and online inference for those models meeting the latency a seller conversation requires while keeping every scored recommendation reproducible.
- Own model validation in a revenue-sensitive setting: back-testing against realized prices challenger models uplift and elasticity measurement and monitoring for drift margin erosion and revenue leakage in production.
- Compose multi-agent workflows using A2A and integrate tools and data through MCP servers (pricing engine rate card store CRM billing and revenue data Databricks Snowflake Kubernetes Confluence Bitbucket Splunk).
- Build and run evals: task-level and end-to-end agent evaluations regression suites LLM-as-judge numerical-correctness and explanation-faithfulness checks and quality and safety gating before release.
- Produce the model documentation test evidence and controls the firms model risk review requires for a model that influences client pricing and keep that evidence current as models are retrained.
- Deploy and operate solutions on public cloud (AWS and/or Azure) with strong SDLC security resiliency and observability practices.
- Partner with pricing product finance and business partners across CIB and Payments to turn use cases into shipped supported agents.
- MS in Computer Science Statistics Mathematics Machine Learning or related field (or equivalent experience).
- Hands-on experience building LLM-powered or agentic applications in production including tracing evaluations and guardrails.
- Hands-on experience taking predictive or optimization models to production and keeping them healthy there including validation monitoring and retraining.
- Practical RAG experience retrieval quality embeddings and vector stores; Graph RAG a strong plus.
- Strong programming skills in Python with deep knowledge of data structures algorithms machine learning data mining information retrieval and statistics.
- Knowledge of Kubernetes (AWS EKS).
- Experience with training models in Databricks and SageMaker.
- Experience working with MLflow.
- Expert knowledge of at least one of: AWS Azure Kubernetes.
- Knowledge of data management and data model design; real-time processing using both SQL (e.g. Postgres) and NoSQL stores (e.g. OpenSearch Redis).
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to partner effectively with senior technical and business stakeholders.
- Experience with pricing revenue management elasticity or demand forecasting models in a production setting.
- Experience with mathematical optimization (linear and mixed-integer programming e.g. OR-Tools or Gurobi) and with constrained recommendation problems.
- Experience with causal inference uplift modelling or experiment design where randomization is limited.
- Experience delivering models through model risk management or equivalent regulatory review.
- Experience working in the financial or payments domain at a large institution (Investment Banking Markets Securities Services or adjacent) or with commercial card treasury services or billing and revenue systems.
- Experience with agent frameworks or runtimes A2A or MCP.
- Agent memory design (memory nodes episodic/semantic memory) and organizational context management.
- Knowledge graphs and graph databases used for retrieval.
- Understanding of LLM fine-tuning and small language model inference.
- Ability to develop full-stack products using modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g. Svelte) for agent UIs (AG-UI / NEO UI SDK).
- Knowledge of high-performance languages such as Go or Rust.
