- Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and analytical solutions to address business problems, including forecasting, segmentation, classification, and anomaly detection.
- Contribute to the development and enhancement of Clara, SWBC's AI decision assistant, including supporting context engineering within Omni, prompt development, and model evaluation workflows.
- Build and maintain ML/AI experiment workflows using Hex for prototyping and exploration, and AWS SageMaker and MLflow for experiment tracking, feature engineering, and model versioning.
- Develop and deploy AI/ML solutions within SWBC Intelligence, the enterprise multi-model AI orchestration platform, leveraging AWS Bedrock and AWS Sagemaker as directed by senior team members.
- Conduct exploratory data analysis and feature engineering using data sourced from SWBC's governed medallion architecture (Bronze - Silver - Gold) in Snowflake.
- Participate in the platform's Evaluation Harness process, including test case development, model benchmarking, and scoring framework contribution to ensure solution quality.
- Perform AI experimentation and prototyping within governed sandbox environments, including Snowflake Sandbox and Hex, ensuring adherence to data privacy and compliance requirements.
- Apply Responsible AI principles, including bias detection, model explainability, and fairness monitoring, to all model development activities.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Analytics Engineering, Data Management, and business stakeholders to translate business problems into data science solutions.
- Communicate findings, model results, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences through clear documentation, visualizations, and presentations.
- Stay current with emerging trends in data science, machine learning, and AI, and contribute to the team's knowledge sharing and continuous improvement culture.
Serious candidates will possess the minimum qualifications:
- Master's degree in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related discipline. Equivalent professional experience (5+ years) may be considered in lieu of an advanced degree.
- Minimum of two (2) years of progressive experience in data science, analytics, or machine learning roles.
- Proficiency in Python and SQL, with working knowledge of ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, or equivalent.
- Experience developing and deploying models within cloud-based AI/ML platforms, preferably AWS (SageMaker, S3) and Snowflake.
- Familiarity with MLOps tools and practices, including MLflow, experiment tracking, and model versioning.
- Proficiency in Hex for data science experimentation and prototyping.
- Understanding of statistical modeling, hypothesis testing, and experimental design.
- Ability to work with structured and semi-structured data, perform data cleaning, and conduct exploratory analysis.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to present findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to interpret ambiguity and work with minimal direction on defined project scopes.
- Ability to lift 20 lbs. of files, supplies, documents, or other related items.
