Applied Aiml, Senior Associate

JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase · Banking · Jersey City, NJ +1 · Asset & Wealth Management

This role focuses on building and maintaining end-to-end data pipelines on AWS, with a strong emphasis on supporting AI/ML model development and deployment. The role involves designing autonomous AI agents, utilizing AI-powered tools for development acceleration, and applying AI-driven techniques for data quality. While the primary focus is on data engineering (L0), there's a secondary focus on supporting agent development (L4).

What you'd actually do

  1. Build and maintain end-to-end batch and streaming data pipelines (ingestion → transformation → curation → serving) on AWS.
  2. Develop scalable transformations using Spark (PySpark/Scala) and SQL, optimizing for performance, reliability, and cost.
  3. Implement and optimize Snowflake solutions (schemas, tables, views, micro-partitioning/clustering considerations, warehouse sizing, query tuning, data sharing patterns where applicable).
  4. Create robust orchestration and scheduling (e.g., Airflow/MWAA, AWS Step Functions, etc.) with monitoring, alerting, retries, and operational runbooks.
  5. Utilize AI-powered tools and large language models (LLMs) to accelerate data pipeline development, automate code generation, and streamline debugging and documentation processes.

Skills

Required

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a quantitative or technical discipline or significant practical experience in industry.
  • Strong SQL skills (complex joins, window functions, query optimization, performance troubleshooting)
  • AWS data services and cloud-native patterns (e.g., S3, IAM, KMS, Glue, Lambda, EMR, Step Functions, Kinesis/MSK—relevant mix).
  • Solid understanding of data modeling
  • Practical experience with Snowflake (data loading, transformations, optimization, access controls).
  • Proficiency in Python (or equivalent) for pipeline development, automation, and testing.
  • Experience with Git and CI/CD practices
  • familiarity with engineering standards for code reviews and automated testing.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience of developing solutions for Financial domain
  • Exposure to distributed model training, and deployment
  • Familiarity with techniques for model explainability and self-validation
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in Data Engineering (preferably in banking/financial services or other regulated environments).
  • Hands-on development experience with Spark (PySpark preferred) for large-scale processing.
